In that they all had some parts of the 2nd Great Awakening and wished to have church based on a closer affinity to that of the 1st century they had some similarity but quickly departed from that starting point.
CoC is definitely part part of the Restoration Movement, that Campbell belonged. Most Congregations still hold to in great reguard the Restrationist view held but Campbell.
mormons were influenced by rigdon who left the Restoration Movement wanting to make his own church (with him in a far more prominent role than allowed by a strict reading of the New Testament imho .)
jw once again starts as a return to the New Testament then rapidly adds to it with various “revelations” inclusive of the resurrection of Hebrew patriarchs and the invisible return of Jesus in 1874 among many others.
7th day adventist were formed during the 2nd great awakening period in the burned over district of West NY much like the mormon movement. It does share some restorationist principles but has made many predictions that have not come to pass (much like lds) and does not hold a clear separation between the old and new testaments. which A.Campbell most certainly did.
Yeah that one...
Just keep the blonde hair and thin prissy lips and pansy look and paint a robe on him...
Ur: >>We do not save anyone’s soul except our own.<<
CB: We don’t save our own souls. Jesus does that with His death and resurrection.

“lol I give you truthful data almost daily. Can’t make a horse drink though eh?”
Would you please give us a link to a single post you ever made that included “data”? I don’t remember one...
Don’t disagree with that and knew all that. In fact, it supports my view that Mormon theology (through Rigdon) is based upon Campbellite doctrine and teachings.
BTW, Rigdon did leave the LDS in 1844 with William Law and did found his own church after he decided Smith was a ‘fallen prophet’ (because of polygamy).
Knowing you are a lady and seeing the question “have you ever been a Boyscout?” had me laughing and I hadn’t thought of a response until I saw yours and it was too funny.
Then the thought ran through my head “Does Mr. Reaganaut know this?/s” and it was even funnier.
LOL
No misunderstanding, no reason to apologize.
Sometimes I need to expand on the discussion for things I assume and that always leads to misunderstanding.
Post on.
ROFL. I know Mr. R is aware of my sex. Has been since we were kids. ;)
It is our responsibility to tell the true gospel to all.
Yah'shua <===> YHvH be my salvation Joel 2:32 & Romans 10:13 We need to call on His NAME in order to be saved:
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
I didnt say you had to belong to a church and I didnt say that belonging to a church automatically gets you in.
You have to believe in a God, and they do not specify which God it must be. That is a requirement, but not an automatic in. If you believe in a God, but are homosexual, you can not join. The point I was making is that the specifics of the religion dont matter to the BSA.
As for the church picking leaders, that isnt how it happened when I was in, which was only about 10 years ago. The church we used had absolutely no involvement in picking leaders or setting rules. They just gave us a place to conduct meetings and the pastor would give an invocation if we asked. As a troop, we actually used 3 different churches in 8 years.
The rest of your post is just you trying to push an agenda. It takes a special type of laser focus to take an article about Mormons not being allowed to be leaders and use it to attack what Mormons do.
Perhaps you should stop trying to read minds. I am talking about the scouts.
LOL
You have known each other since you were kids?
Lucky Guy.
Be back in a few hours.
The young man can not reject a higher being. The two times this must be affirmedI have served as a member of the
Advancement Committee in the Denver Area Council.
i.e. Can not claim to be an Atheist.
is Arrow of Light and Eagle.
How can you even say that if you don't even know what it means to be a Christian?
I feel sorry for this, by all appearances.... thriving....PCA Presbyterian congregation who were trying to do good by sponsoring the Boy Scouts...
They're going to be steamrolled by this family .....litigation city....
..the little trip to the newpaper was the first step!
And, for full disclosure, yes, I'm PCA.
You are aware that neither are scripturally based You do keep Holy YHvH's Shabbat ? I remind you of the Holy Word of G-d in love. Do you believe in and practice the Pagan
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
rituals of Easter and Christmas ?
and impugn the YHvH commanded Feasts of Leviticus.
As it is the fourth commandment.
Very true. We had a life scout who they actually asked 3 times in the advancement meeting to say he believed in something, but he held firm to his atheism and was removed.
Too bad but, not for nothing...
We met when we were 3 (preschool), we were 5 the first time he asked me to marry him (seriously).
See in a few hours.
I was not dumping on the PCA, I was pointing out that the church who offered us a meeting place had a policy which required a statement of faith and that non-PCA members not hold leadership roles in organizations the church hosted.are If you read my next post I said I was not upset by it, we could and did look elsewhere for a meeting place.
We had 4 leaders none of whom were PCA. (Three Methodists and myself an Anglican.) We ended up at a Methodist church. The 4 of us had worked very hard to build this group and were not interested in changing the leadership nor making the group less inclusive by requiring members to sign a rigid statement of faith. It was a homeschool group NOT a religious organization.
The PCA can make any rules it wants for its members and property, I’m not PCA so am not bound.
