Whether it be ...
  • The Judaizers "of James" during the first century
  • Bishops in Rome during post-apostolic centuries
  • John Darby of the 1840's
  • Watchman Nee of the 1940's
  • Witness Lee of the 1970's and 80's
  • The Blendeds of the 2000's
A few things were absolutely identical -- gifted leaders rising up from within (Acts 20.30) drawing others to themselves employing self-assumed spiritual authority to rule the churches of God resulting in a horrible loss of spiritual blessing and fruitfulness. In each case these "authorities" used errant and perverted teachings of distorted oneness to lord it over the church of God.
