	Supersessionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The traditional form of supersessionism does not theorize a replacement; instead it argues that Israel has been superseded only in the sense that the Church has been entrusted with the fulfillment of the promises of which Jewish Israel is the trustee.
		Furthermore, another Vatican II document Nostra Aetate, as well as the repeated comments of Pope John Paul II, clearly repudiates supersessionism by insisting that the divine covenant which constitutes Israel as a nation remains permanently in force.
		Restorationism is the belief of some Christians in a large scale end times conversion of Jews to Christianity.

	Saying Goodbye to Restorationism « Running With the Lion
		Restorationism is based on the idea that the church functioned in a perfect, pristine state after it was first created (and before it was tainted by denominational creeds).
		Restorationism can cause Christians to become too reliant on old patterns, and - at the same time - inadequately reliant on the movement of God’s spirit in the world.
		It seems to me like that restorationism is saying that after the last Apostle died the golden age of Christianity ended and a spiritual dark age came upon the church, until the reformation when things spiritually improved, but that the reformation fell short of restoring the church to it’s pristine glory of the Apostolic age.

		Restorationism is an attitude that typifies a religious movement which sees itself as a rediscovery and establishment of the original form of Christianity.
		The term has been used to describe several comparably motivated Christian religious movements, some of which originated in the British Isles, but which only began to prosper in the eastern United States and then in the American frontier, in the 19th century in the wake of the Second Great Awakening.
		But together, these groups typify an epoch in history, at least as radical in its implications for Christianity as the Protestant Reformation had been; and, they are still the fastest growing Christian sects in the world.

		One result of the rapid progress made by 'Restorationism' in the years immediately after 1975 was that the renewal movement within the denominations (see Part 1 of this series) began to decline.
		The second way of reading the developments is to argue that the roots of Restorationism predated the renewal movement, but that once renewal was under way, it provided fertile soil for a Restorationist takeover.
		The bridge which took Restorationism from its early separatist emphasis to its new ecumenical methodology was probably the arrival in Britain of the Vineyard movement in the mid-1980s.

		God's word and His Holy Spirit leads us to reject the view of Restorationism that teaches that the Church went out of existence (or went into hiding) for many centuries and was later restored to existence (or visibility) by Alexander Campbell and others.
		While the concept and idea of Restorationism can be traced back as early as the 1780s, when James O'Kelly left the Methodist, the movement really gained footing under the leadership of Barton W. Stone (1772-1844) and Alexander Campbell (1788-1866).
		We reject Restorationism and the idea that the Church of Christ denomination alone is the one true Church.

	Restoration or Reformation
		It cannot be reformed, their critics claimed, so they broke with the Reformation and started what has come to be known as "the radical reformation." These were the Anabaptists, but they soon divided into Mennonites, the Amish, etc. The Plymouth Brethren have their roots here, and they are today divided six or eight different ways.
		Williams says, "So widespread was restorationism (restitutionism) as the sixteenthcentury version of primitivism that it may be said to be one of the marks of the Radical Reformation." He turned up books written on the restoration movement, the titles bearing that name.
		Restorationism, on the other hand, is the cause of all our divisions, for by its very nature it is exclusivistic.

	ClarkeComments.com » Restoration
		As for the topic of restoration, though I am a member of Churches of Christ, I am not a fan of restorationism as we have often interpreted it.
		Restorationism assumes two things that I cannot agree with: 1) There was a perfect, pristine first century church that can and should be imitated; 2) Any innovation in Church practice is wrong and should be avoided.
		Stone was not interested, so much, in restoring the “ancient church.”; Stone desired to restore the life and devotion of the ancient church, who sought to imitate their lives after Christ.
