Continuing History of the Church of God: c. 31 to c. 300 A.D.

This sermon is a historical overview of the true Church of God and some of its opponents from the start of the New Testament church in the Book of Acts chapter 2 (c. 31 A.D.) to around 300 A.D. In this sermon, Dr. Thiel names names of the faithful leaders as well as the heretical and apostate leaders. He explains what doctrines the original Church of God held and which leaders denounced false doctrines, many of which have been adopted by Greco-Roman-Protestant churches.
