What is the sixth point?

I grew up in the Primitive Baptist Church. You’re right—they’re good, kind people. I disagree with double predestination.

Good points. Thank you.

Herbert Armstrong founded the movement with a mixture of Seventh day Adventism, Judaism, and I think some Watchtower Society (Jehovah Witness) influence. Garner Ted Armstrong was his son, though later discredited by the organization. Herbert published the Plain Truth magazine for years, which...
