(The No Sect, Sects and the Come Outers)
The purpose of this chart is to show believers what the new testament teaches, and the difference between the various movement, groups and sects that the church of God so-called of the Evening Light has broken off into. We hope that this would minimize the confusion of what is being taught, and show individuals that just because one is associated with a group called the "church of God', doesn't mean that it is the New Testament Church. Most of these groups and movements are based in the United States for the most part, and some groups in other parts of the world. I will say right from the outset that these groups does not represent the New Testament Church in the Visible sense as a body. These kingdom groups and movements and (No Sect, sect and Come outers) from the start has made great stride and progress but they fail, because they never complete the task of full Restoration. These groups begin to fight among themselves, break up and fracture in smaller groups until they are of the same spirit of denominationalism. Also most of the groups have taken on the traditions of the sects and therefore have the mark of the beast. They end up with a beast name, a beast doctrine, and beast spirit, which need to heed the call come out from among them. For added knowledge and resources we have added these links;
