    Very useful summary. I'm an Eastern Orthodox subdeacon, and I always wanted someone to explain all the protestant sects. I agree the historical perspective is the best way to start, but then we always need to look back at what joins us, not what separates us. I look back at the Great Schism with horror. Right now there is a different 'flavor' to the Roman church and mine, but very very few real dogmatic differences (yes some, but they have arrived historically). A good investment of time. Thank you Brother.

    Though I have moved on from the Baptist way to become an Anglican, I would still not group Baptist under the Radical Reformation with Amish/Mennonites. The first Baptists had way more in common with the Reformed tradition in England than they did with Anabaptists. Also, the Anabaptists movement honestly came more out of Zwingli’s Reformation movement in Zurich, so it would be more accurate to place them as branch coming out of the Reformed tradition (there was some stuff with Karlstaut and Muntzer, but that’s another story). This tree approach may be good at looking at the distinctions from a modern perspective, but not really from a historical perspective.

    This is correct and well-stated. The Anabaptists were radical not in that they broke off from Rome, but in that they broke off from Zurich. Additionally, Baptist and Anabaptist theology is very different across the board (they just happen to line up on a couple of distinctives). The Baptists came out of English Separatism, which had the same issues with Anglicanism as the Puritans. The difference in the Separatists and the Puritans is that the former split off while the latter tried to purify the Anglican Church. (Not unlike for example, the PCA vs Redeemed Zoomer in the PCUSA). Therefore, both were products of Protestant theology (both in the Particular and General Baptist streams). Moreover, John Smyth led the first General Baptists in practicing Credobaptism before he ever came in contact with the Waterlander Mennonites in Holland. Baptists are grossly misplaced on this tree and should be branching off of Anglicanism, not characterized as “Anabaptist light.”

    Fascinating and well done! I grew up in an independent non-denominational church. The woman who gave the land for the building said she was visited by an angel and told to give the land and that the gospel would be preached there. We DEFINITELY had some of those baptist principles - not believing in infant baptism, etc - but the bulk of the congregation came out of the Methodist and Holiness traditions. We had a pastor for a long time who was ordained in the Lutheran church. My dad grew up in a Christian Missionary Alliance church , my mom Methodist . I attended a Wesleyan Unniversity, and became a professional visual artist - so I've by default studied a LOT of Catholic art, visited the Vatican and a good deal of the major Catholic sites in France and Italy, and been exposed to a good deal of that denomination. I also grew up around the Amish, and lived near a historic Moravian founded village. I currently attend a Global Methodist Church which is the most recent major offshoot denomination in the U.S. I say all that just to point out that there is ALWAYS a lot of cross-pollination between denominations - and I really think that's a good thing. We all hope and trust that God will unify us someday in the manner in which we should be. I am thankful that my parents went out of their way to expose me to various denominations. All I know is that when a person or congregation gets serious about what they believe - when they start doing the hard personal and corporate work to do their best to love and obey Christ - then good things start to happen and the lost become found. So few of us know the basics of what you presented, and I hope that it will help us all do just what I have witnessed when the faithful labor to be faithful, and to do it more.

    To be fair to the Amish, I wouldn't agree that they separate themselves from the world as much as people think. I live in an area where there are many Amish communities and I've had the pleasure of meeting many of them and even having friendships with some. I know many non-Amish people who actually work with Amish in blue collar jobs, and the Amish workers tend to interact with the non-Amish workers a lot. Some Amish even hire non-Amish workers as helpers or co-workers, or even work FOR non-Amish people as employees. So they don't entirely remove themselves from the world as many people think. You can approach them and have a conversation with them about their faith, and to be honest, many of the Amish will likely do more evangelism in that one conversation than many non-Amish will in their entire lives. I don't believe that the Amish are theologically correct on many things, but they certainly interact with the world and have a great influence on their surrounding communities.

    I'm curious as to your thoughts on the Messianic Judaism movement and where that fits in this "tree". Personally I consider myself under that term because I think much of the protestant and catholic faith misses something important, though I know the Messianic Judaism movement is extremely new by comparison. I grew up in a "non-denominational" church where my mentor sought out original meaning by way of exploring the Biblical Hebrew language of the Old Testament and only THEN correlating that to the Greek in the New Testament (he's actually working on an OT translation himself). That led to a perceived affiliation towards traditionalism and desire to know the Hebrew as it was written in the context of the time in which it was written. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thus forming the newborn denomonation called Global Methodist Church. Global Methodist Church came to my country Croatia few years ago. Gotta admit that they are charming for being low church. When I saw that Pentecostals came from Methodist, I then knew why Methodists are charismatic when I met them. They share a space where they have Sunday meeting with the Calvinists. I do not know which type of Calvinists are they, but I have a reason to believe that they may be the same Calvinists from Hungary.

The inerrancy of the scripture in its original form (not translations as they are all flawed by the translation). 2. The virgin birth and God born in the flesh. 3. Doctrine of Christ atonement on the cross (salvation). 4. The bodily resurrection of Christ. 5. Bodily second coming of Christ ( when he physically sets his foot upon the earth). Beyond these fundamental points the rest are not important as to what constitutes the body of Christ.

    I'd agree. Like RZ said himself in the video, denominations like the Evangelical Free Church (and to a certain extent, Church of the Brethren which are a mix of Lutheran and Anabaptist, or Finished Work Pentecostals) are more a blend of two or more of the 10 main groups than the clear cut distinctions he made. I'd also disagree strongly with his assessment on putting the Churches of Christ alongside people like the Mormons or JW's. Even if they'd deny it till they're blue in the face, the only real difference between a General/Independent Baptist and a Church of Christ would be the name and that the former believes baptism is merely a sign of commitment to Christian belief, while the latter would say it's a salvific (saving) act that requires the mature Christian's belief in its effect. In everything else, the CoC affirms the Nicene Creed in practice, even if not in the letter. They affirm the Trinity and the Deity of Christ and the 66 book canon of the Protestant consensus, it's not like they're calling themselves gods or saying Jesus is just Michael the Archangel. EDIT: I should say that there are several more minor differences between Baptists and CoC, but the views on baptism would be the main one

    ​@@adamandsethdylantoo...yeah...I was going to say that the churches of Christ have a few more key differences with the Baptists (the biggest one other than the key one you mentioned being the musical instruments dispute), but you're entirely right that the churches of Christ do doctrinally agree with the Nicene Creed despite their insistence on the Sola Scriptura "No creed but the Bible," and while they would agree with the "doctrinal accuracy" of the Nicene Creed (if pressed...hard), would decline to recite the writings of men. I do think putting the churches of Christ and the Restoration Movement alongside the Mormons, JWs, Seventh Day Adventists, etc., is a *historically fair* grouping just because ALL of those groups grew out of movements in the U.S. in the 1800s with the Second Great Awakening (though the Restoration Movement really began in the late 1700s) as local movements that spread, and none of them grew fully or directly from any of the branches he's established. You're totally right that, as he says earlier, the churches of Christ, along with most American evangelical groups, are more closely doctrinally connected to American Baptists than other branches. I think he's tracing, in this video, the growth patterns and splits from older groups that can be traced in more of a straight line, and, in that way, the churches of Christ and the Restoration Movement spring up in KY and TN sort of on their own without branching from a specific origin point.

However, since these churches identify themselves as non-denominational, they are very varied in their theological beliefs and practical pursuits. Many take aspects from other branches in the church and apply them to their individual practices. Of course, there are trends, non-denominational churches tend to look similar. But, kind of by necessity, they float around the tree. KInd of like a bird, that flies around the tree picking fruit, but nests in the Baptist branch.

    I’m Anglican and been there ever since God changed my heart and brought me to Christ. However, being more of an Anglo-Catholic it’s very isolating within my area as I live in Sydney and the Sydney Anglican Church is extremely evangelical and pretty much theologically Baptist. To the best of my knowledge there are only two traditional Anglican parishes within my whole diocese, one of which by the grace of God is near me and I currently attend. It can be very isolating

    Where I disagree with you on the evolution/science thing is my understanding that the book of genesis is meant to be a historical book. It’s meant to be the history of creation. So if I’m not supposed to take that book literally, then what’s stopping me from not taking the gospels as a historical account as well? I fell away from the faith when I was about 16/17 mainly due to not being able to reconcile evolution with the Bible. When I became a believer again at 23 I just understood that the Bible is true and it’s God breathed. Btw I’m a Lutheran, part of the LCMS ✝️ The official stance of the church is that Genesis is a historical book meant to be taken literally. Although, not all laypeople would agree.

    Taking Genesis literally is like taking all of Jesus' parables literally, or assuming things like God setting the Earth "fixed and immovable" means the Sun revolves around the Earth despite all evidence to the contrary, especially since the text isn't being literal in the way many think. It's a history, but it's clear that the creation is condensed into what people can understand, getting it up to the point of creating mankind. Even after Adam, it's condensed to Noah, and so on. And in fact, when you look at the creation of the Earth in Genesis, it lines up with what we know scientifically when viewed through such a lense.

    I think emphasizing only the doctrine of Divine Simplicity creates atheism, as not having the doctrine of the essence-energy distinction to supplant it, creates a situation where people misunderstand God as some imaginary old man in the sky, so I vehemently disagree that the assertion that Eastern Orthodox theology is anti-intellectual and only mystical, even though yeah at the time, Divine Simplicity was good in the sense that it led to science and our modern standard of living, but I think a lot of Protestantism and Catholicism is often so alienating and misunderstood that it creates atheism. That is my own personal experience though, being raised Nazerene/ Non-denominational after losing my faith into a hateful misotheist agnosticism in my teen years. Now at age 20, I find Orthodoxy a bit more satisfying intellectually with the idea of Logos Spermatikos and the energy-essence distinction, and how learned many Orthodox Christians can be.

    I can explain. Protestants use a canon decided upon by Jews who had no authority to set any Bible canon. The Church was already establishing and using its own canon. Luther just wanted to go with the council of Jamnia because that version didn't contain books which rejected his views on purgatory

    @@dman7668 The bishop of Rome commissioned Jerome to produce a Latin version of the bible (the Vulgate). Jerome included only the agreed upon 22 books of the Hebrew scriptures which included the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings. 22 because they consolidated some of the books we now separate. He didn't disparage the other books written between the Hebrew scriptures and the NT, but did not regard them as part of the canon. In other words, though helpful and even beneficial to read they were not to be used as the measure of true doctrine. This was a view held by many faithful Catholics all the way to and including the time of the Reformation. Granted, the churches in North Africa (Hippo and Carthage) influenced by Augustine did not make the distinction between the Hebrew scriptures and these other writings, but others did. All this is to say that it is false to suggest that Luther did something new here. He was in agreement with a long history of making a distinction between the Hebrew scriptures and these additional writings eventually known as the deuterocanonical or "apocryphal" books. He included them in his German translation of the bible but did not regard them as equal to the Hebrew scriptures and the NT. Though there were earlier local councils that served as precedent, it was not until the council of Trent (1545 to 1563) that the Roman church decided to regard the deuterocanonical books as equal to the Hebrew scriptures. Luther died in 1546.

    I think he's saying not that the movements from the U.S. Great Spiritual Awakening are not necessarily Christian, but that most/many of them do not inherit their traditions from the greater historical branching. Most of the Great Awakening groups, like the Restoration Movement groups (churches of Christ, Christian Church), the Seventh Day Adventists, the Shakers, the Mormons, the other groups mostly from the 1800s...he's saying that they don't come from these historical and traditional branches, but, as someone above said, have elements of many. The Restoration Movement folks were originally Presbyterians and Methodists, but sat down to say, "What of what is being done in these different churches is based in Bible, and what is based in tradition or habits of men?" Meanwhile, the Adventists, Mormons and a few other groups that originated in that time were started by someone who believed they had a vision of some sort.

    Finally a video with anabaptists. FYI: And 19:50 you mention the framework for non-denominational churches. The MCC or MBC, mennonite Committees in Canada, actually help setup and fund non-denominational churches in areas where the anabaptist population is low. As an example, I'm from Manitoba, and a married mennonite couple from my hometown run a church about 30 minutes away from me, and it's non-denominational as well.
