	Restoration Movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement (or simply, Restoration Movement) is a religious reform movement born in the early 1800s in the United States.
		In the American South, churches of the Restoration tradition tend to identify themselves with the name Church of Christ and argue that it was their faction that remained true to the original principles of the Restoration Movement, not vice versa.
		This movement appears to be directly related to the Shepherding Movement that was gaining influence in the wider Evangelical world at the time.

	Part VI - The Modern Age: Lesson No. 41 - The Restoration Movement (1)
		In 1824 Stone and Alexander Campbell met for the first time and found that they stood on the same ground in rejecting human creeds, sectarianism, and unscriptural names and in accepting the universality of the gospel and baptism for the remission of sins.
		Groups from the Stone and Campbell movements began to meet together, and in 1831 a general meeting of leaders of both movements produced a recognition of fellowship between the two.
		Campbell had become convinced that human creeds were the cause of religious division and took as his guiding principal: "where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent." In the light of this principle infant baptism was rejected.

		Where Campbell felt called to "unite the Christians in all the sects," many of his modern successors deny that there are any true Christians in "the sects," which they define as all groups except their own.

	The REVEAL Library: From the CofC to the Boston Movement
		Campbell's impetus for his position came from the Restorationist ideals presented in his father's _Declaration and Address_: "Where the Scriptures speak, we speak; where the Scriptures are silent, we are silent." Alexander believed that the scriptures clearly spoke of adult immersion baptism, but were silent regarding infant baptism.
		Campbell's doctrine of baptism for the remission of sins became the cornerstone of his movement and later the cornerstone of the entire Restoration Movement, the Churches of Christ, and, eventually, the Boston Movement.
		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.

		While the early Crossroads movement did not have direct contact with the Assemblies of God, the influence of such Assembly of God ministers and teachers as Robert Coleman and Juan Carlos Ortiz on the thinking of the early movement is difficult to overstate.
		The Restoration movement was founded by several Protestant evangelists of different denominations and backgrounds who grew tired of the religious bickering of the period and who became convinced that the key to ending it was to believe the Bible only and toss out all creeds and other measures of faith.
