Definitions come after some of the properties of a thing are understood , so the first order of inquiry is existence of pure act and it's uniqueness, and other properties can follow from this( but not all) Some of the well known derivable properties are the omni's like omipresent etc. All this is just reasoning from first principles and has nothing to do with what theologians call faith.

The same way you formulate a definite definition of LOVE.
If someone is seeking a definition because they don't understand God, then they should just ask Him to reveal Himself to them. It's that simple. Actions always speak louder than words. However, one must be paying attention to "see" the revelation. God will not knock you on the head and say "Here I am!"

If it is definitive, it cannot be an adequate definition-- "sic comprehendis non est Deus" (if you have understood it, it is not God). A great starting point is to consider what St. Anselm discerned in his own quest to answer a question somewhat similar to your own: "God is that which nothing greater can be thought."

How would you define All That Is...everything, there is no definition.

You don't. The best you can is create an ambigous one.
