Some sects of Christianity use pretty much the same New Testament that Houston describes, if I recall correctly. They don't even have the OT in their Bible.
But really, every Christian does this. Chooses a set of books they agree with, and call it their Bible. It's just that most nowadays decide on a Bible in a more subtle way: they choose the one that the founders of their sect have already chosen. They chose a Bible by choosing a sect.
