aron, I'm not following why each spin-off is "less legit" than its "parent." Perhaps you can explain this.
If what you say has merit, then we must all consider a return to the Messianic movement, because they are convinced that
only they are the true church of Jesus, and every Gentile church is just another division of the one body of Christ.
