The Continuing Church of God is pleased to announce the following sermon from its ContinuingCOG channel:
Do you know much about true Christian church history? Do you know much about the official start of Protestantism? What did Martin Luther do on October 31, 1517 with his 95 theses in Wittenberg? Was he trying to start a new church? What year did the term Protestant begin to be used? What about John Wycliffe? Do Baptists truly have perpetuity? Were the Novations Baptists? What did John the Baptist teach? What did Jimmy Carter do? What did the Paulicians, Cathari. Waldenses, and Anabaptists believe? What church can properly claim people like Polycarp, Ignatius, Theophilus, Polycrates, Serapion, and Pionius? Did Tertullian write that the Smyrnaeans had apostolic succession? Does the Continuing Church of God have unbroken succession from the apostles? What about the seventh-day Sabbath and Sunday? Why did King Henry VIII found a church? What about history of the Church of England, the Anglicans, Episcopalians, and the Methodists? Did Martin Luther King, Jr. say his Baptist faith incorporated aspects of Mithraism? Could Joseph of Arimathea, Simon Zelotes, Aristobulus, or the Apostle Paul have made it to the British Isles? What did the early Celts/Kelts believe? What did Augustine find out when going to Britain c. A.d. 597? When were the ‘church eras’ of Revelation 2 and 3? Dr. Thiel addresses these topics and more.

The Similarities and Dissimilarities between Martin Luther and Herbert W. Armstrong This article clearly shows some of the doctrinal differences between the two.
