Restorationism: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Restorationism''' is a form of [[ecclesial Christianity]] that developed out of 19th century [[Protestantism]], as a rejection of a perceived loss of centralised power due to the [[Protestant Reformation]]. Advocates of Restorationism rejected [[Denomination|denominational]] divisions, [[Early Christianity|early Christian]] creeds, and traditions they interpreted as corruption, instead seeking to return to a purer, more primitive faith. Restorationist denominations often claim to be the [[one true church]] in a similar way to [[medieval Catholicism]].

Some restorationist churches are less radical and follow orthodox Christian doctrines such as [[trinitarianism]]. Examples include the [[Seventh-Day Adventists|Seventh Day Adventist church]] and the [[Primitive Baptists]]. The vast majority however, would broadly claim these orthodoxies are [[Paganism|pagan]] additions, instead siding with long disproved [[Heresy|heresies]]. Examples include the [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], who teach [[Arianism]] and the [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|Mormon church]], which teaches [[Tritheism]].

Restorationism is sometimes considered a form of Protestantism, but is also sometimes grouped as a separate category of denominations.
