Brethren & Co-Workers Letter - January 01, 1970 - Herbert W Armstrong - January 01, 1970

Herbert W Armstrong

This is a very SPECIAL letter about you, personally. There is one point on which some of our Co-Workers may not be clear. As you know, this great WORK OF GOD is non-denominational. We are not a sect or denomination in the generally accepted sense. Nor are we backed or sponsored by any, or connected with any. There were several religious sects in Palestine in Jesus' day. You read of "the sect of the Sadducees," in Acts 5:17; "the sect of the Pharisees," in Acts 15:5. There were also the Essenes, the Samaritans, the Herodians and the Zealots. But Jesus joined none of them! What is the meaning of the word "sect"? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
