Hello everyone,

It has been five years since I last posted on CF, so please forgive me if my post has some formatting problems.

I recently came across a series of four videos in a series entitled "Our Restoration Heritage", narrated by Dr. Bill Humble and produced by Abilene Christian University back in 1986. Has anyone else watched this videos? If you did, what did you think of them? I definitely enjoyed them.

Links to the videos:
1. The Beginnings of the Restoration Movement
2. The Meaning of the Restoration Movement
3. Division of the Restoration Movement
4. The Continuing Restoration Movement

I watched the first and the third. Peaceably presented, but it is limited to the coalescence into the first Restoration movement up through the two Campbells taking over, then continuing on (unless it's in Part 2) that track alone until the conclusion of Part 3 where instrumental music divides his Church of Christ off from the Disciples of Christ. I wanted instead to see where the Mormons, Adventists, and later the Jehovah's Witnesses split off with their own unique versions of New Testament "restoration".

You feel that the Mormons split off the church of Christ?

Most assuredly they did. In their formative years they called themselves the Church of Christ. Because of the similarity, they were forced to change their names to several different versions. The most prominent is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. There is also the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which is now the Community of Christ (an apparent attempt to mimic as closely as possible the original Church of Christ title).

Within Mormonism the religion is referred to as the Restoration and is described as being a divine restoration of the Church of Christ in the latter days.
