Name that Denomination...
And See if you can find any theological issues...
Just a game... trying to see if a denomination can be correctly identified
1) Claim true heirs of apostolic succession
2) Spirit a prisoner of the human body
3) the world is unholy and polluted.
4) Salvation can only occur once we realize how corrupt the world is, and turn from it.
5) God of the OT was either different or at the very least treated man differently than in the NT
6) Prior to Christ, it was really the Devil that seemed to run the world
7) Thing like the Trinity, and the real presence, seen as an abomination's
8) More than likely, because God is a God of Love... all will be saved.
Have fun
In Christ

Re: Name that Denomination...
It seems more
Gnostic than any denomination I can think of, although it is not pure Gnostic in any sense. But it also resembles the Liberal Catholic Church International in some ways. I dunno..I give up

Re: Name that Denomination...
anabaptist?.....
The good God of the NT versus the Evil God of the OT. Seemed to point that way.

Re: Name that Denomination...
JWs?
Since they hold that we are recreated after death, the spirit is in the body prison sounds right. And that the world is corrupt and to turn from it sounds like them.
My second guess is a certain brand of "baptize in Jesus only" Pentecostal.

Re: Name that Denomination...
At first I just assumed that all eight traits belonged to one denomination, but now I'm not so sure. Did the OP mean that all eight belong to the same denomination, or are there eight denominations involved? This is not clear from the original post.

That's what I'm wondering too. Although, several denominations fit more than one of the traits.

Re: Name that Denomination...
Its one of the early heresies, Marcion's heresy, I think. Marcionism? Interestingly, these same principles repeat over and over in various denominations, especially 2, 3 & 4, and to a lesser extent 5.

I did not choose any of the early heresies because the OP asked about "denominations". Therefore, I guessed that he was interested in something post-Reformation. What you mentioned makes sense though. My first thought was gnosticism. Arian heresy comes to mind also (denial of Trinity).

Re: Name that Denomination...
Albigensianism/Catharism.
The 'gnosticism' guesses are close though -- there're a lot of similarities.

Some form of adults-only Calvinism? The "Reformed Baptists" might fit this description, but I don't know enough about them to be absolutely certain. (I didn't think they claimed Apostolic succession, but I could be wrong about that.)

The OP is a bit confusing. I'm not sure if he meant to ask "Name that heresy" or "Name that denomination". Is he referring to something pre or post-Reformation?

I never heard of Calvinists considering the Trinity to be an abomination, though.

Technically there are still a few Cathars around (either that or there was a revival -- I'm not sure) after the genocide, so they'd qualify as a denomination.
