I wonder to what extent the apostolic movement can be tied to #2.

Where did you get this from and to what context does your title relate?

The modern-day Oneness Apostolic movement is a progression from the Reformation, Wesleyan Holiness Movement and then Azusa Street (in an extremely minimized description).

All groups claim to be intimately related to the Early Church. This is all groups' claim. The Catholics have all the history on their side -- and that remains one strong point for RCC, and one in which we all learn from, history. (Of course their history also includes burnings of works not theirs, cruelty, etc)

Disagree.

Where do the JH, Mormons, Sikhs, Muslims, Animists-- need I go on?

Who influenced them?

All of them would look to Acts 2, to some degree, as well as the NT.

Sikh's, Muslims.... yeah, I wasn't even sure what the post means or what they are asking. Are they referring to Christian religious groups or Religion in general?

The world renowned, voice of the UPC, nationwide evangelist and Landmark keynote speaker, Rev. Danny Hood used this in one of his sermons as a matter of fact...

This is what I had figured as well...no way would protestantism be present in the United States without the reformation...of course, we cannot prove a negative that by some divine revelation it wouldn't have happened anyway...

That person made a mistake in his sermon.

It happens, from time to time.

I am sure the gist of the sermon was factual.

Protestantism WAS the Reformation.

Protestant = Protest = Reformation of RCC

No one predicted it would have formed a new leg of Christianity, as Luther, Zwingli and others were only concerned with correcting the areas they felt the RCC was "missing it." Similar to some of the Pentecostal criticism that happens on AFF

But instead, the reformers became part of a reformation. A movement that never ceased to stop --- anabaptists, lutherans, etc...
