Christianity: Two groups<\/a><\/h3>\n
\u00a0While there have been many groups calling themselves Christians over the centuries, there essentially have been two groups. One group that held to the practices and doctrines of the apostles, with another group incorporating non-biblical traditions and practices. Early theological writers identified the two major groups in the second century. One was the Church of God in Asia Minor, and the other was the Church of Rome, which had ties to Alexandria. Are you part of the true Christian church? What did the original church teach? Which group teaches that today?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here is a link to the video sermon: Christianity: Two groups<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some items of possibly related interest may include:<\/em><\/p>\n

Early Church History: Who Were the Two Major Groups that Professed Christ in the Second and Third Centuries?<\/a> Did you know that many in the second and third centuries felt that there were two major, and separate, professing Christian groups in the second century, but that those in the majority churches tend to now blend the groups together and claim “saints” from both? “Saints” that condemn some of their current beliefs. Who are the two groups? A related sermon is also available Christianity: Two groups<\/a>.
\nWhat Was the Original Apostles’ Creed? What is the Nicene Creed?<\/a> Did the original apostles write a creed? When was the first creed written? Are the creeds commonly used by the Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholics original?
\nDo You Practice Mithraism?<\/a> Many practices and doctrines that mainstream so-called Christian groups have are the same or similar to those of the sun-god Mithras. December 25th was celebrated as his birthday. Do you follow Mithraism combined with the Bible or original Christianity? A sermon video from Vatican City is titled Church of Rome, Mithras, and Isis? <\/a>
