The first was William Irvine who founded the “Two by Two” groups. He went to Jerusalem in hopes of being one of the two Witnesses.
I was raised in this group. Thankfully a GRACE believer, in 1973, shattered the chains of legalism from me and I have been free ever since.
I now go to a Baptist church (but am not a baptist) Google “Cooneyites”. Same group but took after a different preacher William Cooney.

The second were a group of the Foundation of Ubiquity (FOU)I remember reading and hearing of them on the news back at that time.

WOW. Bizarre stuff that people come up with.

One is thankful you got loose from it.
