  Bible Students - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name Bible Students is used by many segments of what has been termed the Bible Student movement, all of whom follow the doctrinal views of Charles Taze Russell.
Following Russell's death in 1916, the movement was divided by a primary schism in 1917, which was also divided by some of its own.
Because Bible Students do not use or rely upon a central religious organization, some of these congregations have adopted the generic title Associated Bible Students.

 Charles Taze Russell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For many Bible Students, Rutherford's rejection of the Great Pyramid in November, 1928, and Russell's role in restoration of the truth in February, 1927, was considered the last straw.
Following his analytical examination of the Bible, Pastor Russell, and other Bible Students, came to believe that Christian creeds and traditions were harmful errors, believing they had restored Christianity to the purity held in the first century.
Based upon certain biblical texts, such as Isaiah 19:19,20, and others, the various ascending and descending passages were viewed as representing the fall of man, the provision of the Mosaic Law, the death of Christ, and the exultation of the saints in heaven.
