JOHN 1728 JOHN The Disciples of Christ Movement had a profound impact on the Church of Christ Movement . According to the Disciples of Christ website: The Disciples of Christ functioned and grew as a movement, often referred to as the Stone-Campbell movement. 12 Although the Disciples of Christ do bow down to God as a Trinity, they don’t serve God’s great interest by teaching salvation by grace. The Disciples of Christ Movement believes in salvation by “works.” They believe in “baptismal regeneration” and living their lives in a godly manner in order to gain Heaven. The Disciples of Christ have a current membership of approximately 1.1 million followers. Most believe in a literal eternal Hell. Socialism is the movement advocating public ownership and control of the means of production and exchange. According to the New Age Encyclopedia : Modern Socialism is often dated back to the appearance of the Communist Manifesto, written by Karl Marx and Engels in 1848 … 4 Dr. Chester Pierce, a socialist professor in Educational Psychiatry at Harvard University during the early seventies, in an address to the Association for Childhood Education International, notes: The origin of the Seventh Day Adventists can be traced back to the Millerite Movement of the 19 th Century. William Miller (1782-1849) was originally a Deist. After two years of intense Bible study, Miller came to know the Lord and was converted to Christianity, becoming a Baptist lay leader. Because of a strong desire to see the return of Christ in his day, Miller began predicting that the Lord would return in 1843. However, when Christ didn’t return, Miller was forced to adjust his prediction and his interpretation of his prediction to 1844. When the Lord failed to return in 1844 many believers left the movement, including Miller himself. Miller died five years later in 1849. Unfortunately, one of his followers, Ellen G. White (1827- 1915), continued with the movement, and by 1863 began calling themselves Adventists . With numerous trance-like visions, White sculpted her future followers. The Branch Davidians , who in 1993 burned their compound down upon themselves in Waco, Texas after a long standoff with the FBI, were one such group. Although some Seventh Day Adventists do bow down to God as a Trinity and believe in salvation by “grace,” most don’t . Most Seventh Day Adventists today are taught to believe in salvation by “works.” They are taught to believe that eternal life is a gift, which God gives only to the “righteous” Christians; all other Christians will be ultimately annihilated. The Seventh Day Adventists had a profound impact on Charles T Russell, founder of the Jehovah’s Witnesses . Seventh Day Adventists have a current membership of approximately 14 million followers. Most do not believe in a literal eternal Hell. Most believe in “soul sleeping” and in Buddhism’s doctrine of annihilation. AD 1850s – The Mind Sciences NewThought (Phineas Parkhurst Quimby - 1866) - Men “ working ” to reincarnate themselves into something better Socialism (1848) - Men “ working ” to make government a god Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our Founding Fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a Supernatural Being, toward the sovereignty of his nation as a separate entity. It is up to you teachers to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future. 13 Seventh Day Adventist (1863) - Men “ working ” to save themselves ( Gen 2:2 )

A break-off of Hinduism , NewThought is based on Pantheism (all is God). The idea that the human mind and reason are above everything else blossomed in the Age of Enlightenment, which started with the French philosopher Ren’e Descartes. One of the results of Descartes’ Age of Enlightenment in America was the New Thought movement, started by Quimby. New Thought neither bows down to God as a Trinity nor serves God’s great interest by teaching salvation by “grace.” New Thought believes in Hinduism’s “karma.”

New Age (1875) - Men “ working ” to reincarnate themselves into something better

A break-off of Hinduism , Buddhism , Taoism , and Gnosticism (salvation by knowledge - Colo 2:16 ), New Age is also based partly on Pantheism (all is God). New Age neither bows down to God as a Trinity nor serves God’s great interest by teaching salvation by “grace.” New Age believes in reincarnation via “works.”
