Are there any restorationist groups who actually follow the new testament?
By "restorationist" I mean any or all of those groups claiming that the Church somehow went astray and it is up to them to "set things straight".
To follow the new testament one must:
1. Practice water baptism for the remission of previous sins
2. Gather on the first day of the week
3. Sing the liturgy
4. Read from the bible (actually only read from the old testament)
5. Participate in the eucharist as the body and blood of Christ and a sacrificial sacrament
There are a few others, such as having apostles, teachers, etc. This only hits on a few of the high points.
