  • CCCC is a Congregational denomination that is conservative. It's little and it's little known, so let's look into what they believe.

    This channel is genuinely educational. I wish I could say this about others.

      I say my Ytube video series called 'Myths in so-called Christianity' is educational in intent. As I expose Myths which are misreading that have become embedded into doctrine, I give the truth that such as Paul intended, and it is now a complete teaching.
      Feel free to watch as there are now 24 videos.

    Thanks so much for doing this research and posting this. I helped start the church you gave as an example of baptist in theology, Cornerstone Congregational Church in Westford, MA. We spent a lot of time talking about this topic and we really appreciate the CCCC flexibility on baptism. I also recently (March 2022) created a VLOG on the CCCC, and the CCCC's church-planting arm, The Nineveh Network. Much different style than this one though. Thanks again!

    Suprisingly, ive expected something like Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, instead i've got a biblical well-rounded denomination:
    - Trinity
    - Scripture authority
    - Autonomy of local church
    - Universal fellowship
    - Salvation by faith only
    - Widespread eternal security
    - Diversity on sacraments, creation, worship, ordination, eschatology
    - Healthy biblical position on tithing
    - Conservative position on family
    for brothers and sisters in Christ
    “‘The Lord bless you
    and keep you;
    The Lord make his face shine on you
    and be gracious to you;
    The Lord turn his face toward you
    and give you peace.”’ Numbers 6:24-26

    Josh, a good topic to consider is the distinction between the 1620 Puritans (Salem MA) and 1630 Pilgrims (Plymouth). The “Pilgrims” included a number who were not Puritans, thus the need for the Mayflower Compact to agree to protect each other.

      The Plymouth colony was first, in 1620. The Massachusetts Bay colony was second, in 1630.

    The NACCC is Rex Tillerson's church. I believe there are about 100,000 conservative Congregationalists in the United States today. Interesting video, please do a say, 7 or 8 minute one exclusively on WELS Lutheran or EPC Presbyterian

    My parents attend a CCCC congregation. 1st Congregationalist Church of South Hamilton, Massachusetts. It is only 20 min.drive from the Wakefield Congregationalist Church made reference to. They left the UCC in 2001.

    Whoa! 4Cs founded in 1948 in anticipation of the UCC. there were 2 in Oakland County, Mich when i moved to metro Detroit, now there's only 1 BUT the 4C's got Niebuhr's church! Emmanuel-Bethel in Royal j'Oak, Mich. contains Niehbuhr's Bethel Evangelical Church formerly in Detroit. They had a theological renewal, and left the UCC for the 4C's. BTW, led by 1st Congregational of Detroit several metro Congregational churches stayed out of the UCC.

  • @albertito77
    @albertito77 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very interesting. The Puritan settlers have had such a decisive role in the formation of the American identity it's interesting to know where they are today. Although it could he argued that the momentum of their fervour, and thus the true "spirit" of Puritanism switched to the Baptist movement after the Great Awakening. So a Calvinist fundamentalist Baptist congregation can equally claim to.he modern heirs of the Puritans

    I'd love to see some videos about a few of the more strange, fringe groups. Christian Identity, House of Yahweh, and the Recovery Movement/Local Churches are all really strange and interesting, and there are certainly others.

    • @ReadyToHarvest
      @ReadyToHarvest  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good thoughts. I do want to do Lord's Recovery at some point for sure. I would put Swedenborgianism in the same box as being very unusual (I have made a video on them) and I just made a playlist with five groups that are particularly unusual in that way, based off of this comment.

    @matthewbateman6487 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very interesting, and I respect many of their statements...
    Though I'm inclined to think a 'board or conference' of congregational churches is a bit like Constitutional anarchy.
    A larger overhead that makes general prescriptions/proscriptions for individual gatherings who each believe that their individual gathering is autonomous/self-governing -- seems counterintuitive to me...
    How do they get their statements out to the other churches? How do they know which churches to send them to? What do they do if one of the 'self governing' churches rejects part/all of one of their statements? Why would they care?...
    What if 2-3 of their 'self-governing churches' convened to join into an 'autonomous tri-bodied church' in which only three churches freely chose to govern/convene amongst themselves? Is it still congregational? Why or why not?
    I don't really see how this is much different than just 'a denomination.'

    I'm not sure if you already did a video on this but could you please do one on older versus New Earth creationism and what various churches such as Catholics Orthodox and of course the various Protestant groups you mentioned in your videos believe in. I think old Earth creationism sounds more accurate.

    If persecution becomes severe, and Christians become castigated from society, these brothers might be the balm of Gilead to a desperate believer.
    And local only ecclesiology will be passé.

    • @thursoberwick1948
      @thursoberwick1948 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In recent times, it is obvious that certain powerful interest groups seek to cultivate what they term "global faith leaders". To be a successful global faith leader, you need a big organisation behind you. But it is harder to persuade and buy off thousands of local leaders than a handful of head honchos.
