I seem to have painted myself into a corner here.I beg your pardon, I resemble that remark - lol.
"Us?" Are you declaring?

I better wait until the paint drys. - LOL
The word valgari in Latin means common. (vulgar)
It designated the difference between nobility and commoners. (who were vulgar)
This probably isn't helping me, but it is interesting. (I think)

Let’s see…. Among the true, chosen, predestined, elite, remnant— we have—
The Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mennonite, Hutterite, Millerite-all, the Jews, the Zionist-Christians, and now— the Pentecostals. Am I missing anyone?
The Branch Davidians? -oh wait— they were Seventh Day Adventists.

That's an interesting assortment of denominations.
I think God has his own everywhere.
I suppose Charismatic/Pentecostals are unorthodox. But so was the early church by today's standards.
Remember my topic, Was Jesus orthodox? (or Baptist?) - LOL
And I wonder why I was banned. ??? Was it something I said?
Was Jesus Orthodox? (or Baptist?) - LOL
Was Jesus orthodox? Or did he operate outside the realm of the orthodoxy of his day? Was he a heretic by their standards? Perhaps being heterodox is WAY underrated. Do we worship the status quo? Acts 24:5 For we have found this man to be a troublemaker, one who stirs up riots among all the...

This was one of the things that made me question the position of my home church on miracles.

What's wrong with this picture?
The church that denied miracles was sending missionaries to foreign lands were miracles were happening.
It seemed that God was getting the credit, but those He used were not. Cognitive dissonance.
What have you observed in this regard?

Take it up with Wikipedia....
The Branch Davidians (or the General Association of Branch Davidian Seventh-day Adventists) are an apocalyptic cult founded in 1955 by Benjamin Roden. They regard themselves as a continuation of the General Association of Davidian Seventh-Day Adventists, established by Victor Houteff in 1935.

Do the words "Seventh-day Adventists" in their title confirm that the Branch Davidians CAME from the Seventh-day Adventists? That doesn't seem conclusive to me.

And, of course. "they regard themselves" is quite a qualifier as well. Hey, we here at The Church of What O'Darby Believes regard ourselves (or ourself, as the case may be) as being a continuation of Southern Baptism, Scientology, Mahayana Buddhism and Bobby Jones On Golf.
