No. Creatures on the stack are still "spells". You can cast that lightning bolt, but if a creature is on the stack you can't choose it as a target.

I think there is some misunderstanding what he is talking about. I think he mean when its summoned and being put on the table. And like i said before, any abillities that activate upon summoning it still happen even if you destroy it.

509.2. Second, for each attacking creature that's become blocked, the active player announces that creature's damage assignment order, which consists of the creatures blocking it in an order of that player's choice. (During the combat damage step, an attacking creature can't assign combat damage to a creature that's blocking it unless each creature ahead of that blocking creature in its order is assigned lethal damage.) This turn-based action doesn't use the stack.Example: Vastwood Gorger is blocked by Llanowar Elves, Runeclaw Bear, and Serra Angel. Vastwood Gorger's controller announces the Vastwood Gorger's damage assignment order as Serra Angel, then Llanowar Elves, then Runeclaw Bear.

Edit:

Stack always confused me as in normal play it gets resolved automaticly, its like tying your shoe lashes.
You do it all the time without thinking. Then try to explain it and you'll have to dig for how it works

Anyway, in the stack its a spell yes. And cannot by targeted by a "destroy target creature" card for example.

You can however counter it with counterspell, the creature card will not resolve and its effect wont happen.
