	The REVEAL Library: From the CofC to the Boston Movement
		By the mid-1980s this discipling movement was headquartered at the Boston Church of Christ and led by a young evangelist, Kip McKean.
		The Boston Movement was born out of the traditions of the Churches of Christ, which in turn have roots in the Stone-Campbell American Restoration Movement of the nineteenth century.
		The Movement's belief that the mainline Churches were spiritually dead (to the point of costing them their salvation), were not evangelizing the world, and were mired in tradition instead of being rooted in scripture led the Boston Movement to in turn consider the mainline Churches a separate fellowship.

		But reared as I was in the Restoration Movement churches, and educated and trained for ministry at one of the Movement Bible colleges, I was a firm believer in the Plea.

		Basic to “Restoration” theology is the call to return to “New Testament Christianity,” the beliefs and practices of the first century Christian church as documented in the New Testament.
		The Restoration movement did not set out to become a denomination; but the historical fact is that it is now a full-fledged denomination along with a number of splinter movements which are denominations in reality if not in name.

	What is the Restoration movement??
		The Restoration movement bases the claim that apostles and prophets are to be a part of the church on Ephesians 4:11-12.
		It should be noted that the current teaching of the restoration of prophet and the office of apostle is far from what Scripture describes of the men who held the gift of prophet and the office of apostle.
		Those who teach Restorationism teach that the men who claim to be apostles and prophets should never be spoken against, should never be questioned, because the person who speaks against them is speaking against God.
