Don't denominations exist because of theological and doctrinal differences?

The primary theme of this book is the charge for Christians to return to original New Testament Christianity, void of modern and social interpretations, nuances, and religious movements.

  • Response to Accusations Against Anabaptists
    Response to Accusations Against Anabaptists Anabaptists are not monolithic. In other words, one cannot say that all Anabaptists believe such and such. Actually the movement is quite diverse, from very liberal Anabaptists who support abortion and homosexuality (like some in the Mennonite Church USA) to very conservative Anabaptists (like the Old Order Amish). Obviously, we cannot group all of the teachings of Anabaptists together and say that all Anabaptists believe such and such. In fact there are many "Anabaptists" who embrace much of what Protestant theology teaches. (By the way, the term Anabaptist literally means "re-baptizers" and it refers to the groups during the time of the Protestant Reformation who rejected their infant baptism and were re- baptized as adults.) For the sake of clarity, when I use the term "Anabaptist," I am using it to refer to those who would describe themselves more as "Kingdom Christians." For a description of what a Kingdom Christian is, please go to the link below: Scroll Publishing - What is a Kingdom Christian Kingdom Christians would include people such as David Bercot, Finny Kuruvilla, Dean Taylor, John D. Martin, David Robertson, Dale Heisey, and Ernest Eby. This is a specific subset of Anabaptism that I identify with and whose views I can fairly well summarize and generalize. Accusation: Anabaptists teach that God changed his mind with respect to things like swearing oaths. Response: Anabaptists would say that the New Covenant is not God changing his mind so much as it is God revealing his ultimate plan for his people. God permitted certain things in former times, which have now been set aside with the perfect revelation of God’s will in Christ.

  • Early Christian Writers on Apostasy and Perseverance
    Early Christian Writers on Apostasy and Perseverance In putting together this article I started by first reading from the reference work—A Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs: A Reference Guide to More Than 700 Topics Discussed by the Early Church Fathers.1 Patristic scholar David Bercot is the editor of this work, and under the topic “Salvation” there are several subheadings, with number six being “Can those who are saved ever be lost?” The following Scriptures are quoted: The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. (2 Chronicles 15:2) The righteousness of a righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. (Ezekiel 33:12) You will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. (Matthew 10:22) Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62) If we endure, we shall also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He also will deny us. (2 Timothy 2:12) If we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment. (Hebrews 10:26) For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last end is worse for them than the beginning.

  • Who Are Kingdom Christians? “Kingdom Christian” Is a New Buzz Term Among Some Conservative Anabaptists and Others Who Hold a Similar Worldview
    Who Are Kingdom Christians? “Kingdom Christian” is a new buzz term among some conservative Anabaptists and others who hold a similar worldview. The term has become popular in recent decades through the writings of David Bercot as a way to picture a Christian worldview throughout history that is larger than the Anabaptists, yet still be a term that would include Anabaptists. In the last decade or two, there is a new interest among conservative Anabaptists and other similar groups to rediscover what was commonly believed and practiced in the early church (AD 30-300). Learning about Anabaptism is good, but these folks want to be part of a faith tradition that is much larger and much older than one arising out of the Protestant Reformation. These folks have taken an interest in reading what Bercot and others refer to as the historic faith or kingdom Christianity. Conservative Anabaptists and their affiliates who use this term, generally define “kingdom Christians” as believers who practice non-resistance and returning good for evil; believers who are separated from the world and separated unto God; believers who practice modest dress and head-covering for women; and believers who don't participate in government/politics in a way that compromises New Testament teachings. Kingdom Christians are those who believe that allegiance to King Jesus requires a denouncing of allegiances to earthly entities and their ways of seeking power. They endeavor to give their time and talents to expanding God’s kingdom, nurturing a society of the redeemed, and helping to bring heaven to earth as pictured in the Lord ’s Prayer.

Keane: Radicals in the Revolution: The Persecution of Christians During RADICALS IN THE REVOLUATION: THE PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR By Kevan D. Keane This paper explores the plight of radical Christians in Pennsylvania during the American Revolution. Pennsylvania, up until the American Revolution, was governed by Quakers, and home to people of many denominational backgrounds, including various Anabaptist sects, such as the Amish, Mennonites, and Brethren. Both Quakers and Anabaptists adhered to the most conservative interpretation of Jesus’s teachings on not resisting an evil person (Matthew 5:38-42) and the swearing of oaths (Matthew 5:33-37). When Protestant revolutionaries took over the Pennsylvania government during the War, they required all residents of Pennsylvania to take an oath of allegiance to the Colony.

A Socio-Religious Introduction to the Apostolic Churches in North America Cory Anderson Assistant Professor of Sociology and Geography Department of Society and Environment Truman State University Research Associate Department of Plant Pathology The Ohio State University—Ohio Agricultural Research & Development Center Abstract The Apostolic Christian Churches descend from the religious revivals instigated under the leadership of Samuel Fröhlich in 1830s Switzerland. Fusing Anabaptist thought into his revival through contact with Mennonites, Fröhlich’s movement constitutes a distinct religious tradition within the larger Anabaptist movement. Research about this Anabaptist tradition has remained sparse. This article helps introduce the Apostolics to a scholarly audience.

  • Anticalvin the Myth of Original
    Table of Contents Myth of Original Sin Origins: Setting the Stage: The Turning Point: Who are the Real Heretics? Myth of Original Sin By Mike Desario (http://standingthegap.org/) Almost without exception the evangelical Christian world believes that forgiveness of sins and Salvation can be had by praying a simple prayer to God, confessing your sinfulness and Receiving Jesus as your personal Savior. So much so that the entire church world today measures their success or failure against how many people they can persuade into praying the prayer. If many respond to the invitation they are pronounced Saved and forgiven of sins, taken into the church and taught that God will someday ‘clean’ them up and they will be able to live a better life than before. Although the sin never really stops (and this includes ALL sin: fornication, molestation, adultery, drunkenness) it will in time become less and less as you learn to cope with your sinful nature through the application of His Grace. No one questions this formula or tries to alter it to a more Biblical perspective, although NOTHING in Scripture garners it any support. In the Bible the Procedure is simply: Repentance and Faith.. Repentance Proven by Deeds and Faith Working by Love. But no one seems to care. They gauge everything off the formula and even those who tend to use the correct terminology (mentioning repentance and faith) still hold that Real Salvation can be had using the formals. (Otherwise they would abandon them as false!). This applies to their understanding of Revival as well.

  • Christian Order Or the Remnant? Where Does the Pilgrim Church Fit in the Christian Landscape?
    Church Planter’s Forum and Retreat 2017 Christian Order or The Remnant? Where does the Pilgrim Church fit in the Christian landscape? The word forum suggests that there are some things in life for which there are no simple answers. My observation is that the churches and communities who are successful long term are those in which the founders go into the endeavor with their eyes fully open, with a healthy sense of reality and a good dose of humility. Anyone who goes into church planting thinking that the Lord is going to somehow cover over all of man’s mistakes, is going to be in for a surprise. A forum suggests that some things in life need various perspectives in order for us to better see and understand the truth. Here is an illustration for how I see this working… If I tried throwing this ping pong ball all the way to the kitchen door, I wouldn’t get it there. But if all of you were spread out between here and the kitchen, we could get it there! I’d get it started, different ones of you would give it a little kick and before long we could get this ball to the kitchen. That is what I would like to see happen at these church planters forums over the next several decades. I would like to see us all work together at this until we reach our goal for church planting. (This idea of working together at something like this is a very central Anabaptist concept by the way.) Whenever there is a health epidemic, there are multiple research teams working simultaneously at finding a solution for the problem.
