Talk:The Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite)

message: This article definitely needs some additional third-party sources.  It reads like I would expect a church website or publication to read rather than a neutral encyclopedic article.  In looking at the few sources, most of them are from the church itself and I'm guessing the article was likely written by someone in the church based on the tone. 
In explaining my removal of the mention of the LDS Church in the racial integration section, the mention is largely irrelevant.  With all the various organizations that had some type of segregation, why is a well-known rival mentioned as the one specific example?  Seemed to be more about trying to make a statement about the LDS Church than getting to the point of the section.  Further, the issue of blacks and the priesthood was not really a segregation issue since segregation is more or less keeping the races separate (separate schools, seats, drinking fountains, etc.).  There were many blacks in the LDS Church prior to 1978; they were not in separate congregations or put in separate classes or required to sit in different sections.  --JonRidinger (talk) 02:31, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional sources 

message: I placed the cleanup tag in relation to how the article is written.  About every sentence begins with the church's full name.  Many sentences could be rewritten or combined to avoid this as well as using more word variation and general phrases such as "the church" unless the context is unclear. I will try to do some as I have time.  --JonRidinger (talk) 04:50, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup tag 

message: I removed the quotatation as the phrase Mormon being accepted in the past.  First the page used in the citation was wrong and secondly the only mention of that in the pamphlet is:
"Now we wish the public to understand that we do not feel at all reproached at being called Mormons" - however in context of the pamphlet the author already defined the term Mormon differently than is normally accepted and understood today.  Essentially he created another term for the LDS church and redefined the word Mormon prior to making the statement.  It would be too off topic to explain the context in this article, hence I removed it.  I hope this better explains my edit. JRNicklow (talk) 01:14, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there anything we can say that can be cited about the church in more modern times not associating itself with the name "Mormon"? Does the church have a current position on this or is it never addressed at all? Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:10, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a sentence about this with reference to the website FAQs. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:16, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal 

message: Hi, I am wondering why these two sections are included in the "Doctrines and Practices" section as subsections. "Ordinances" discribes doctrines unless they are unofficial practices that members of the Church practice. "Racial Integration" seems like a Church practice, although I can see why it would merit its own section. 
I think it would be best to turn the "Ordinances" section into one or two paragraphs and place it as a subsection inside the "Doctrines and Practices" section. I am not sure what to do with the Racial Integration section, perhaps it should be expanded and have two large paragraphs instead of multiple small paragraphs?

thread_title:  Regarding "Ordinances" and "Racial Integration" sections 

message: The Nature of God section is a little confusing to me.  It tends to suggest that this group doesn't believe in the Trinity, making it a Nontrinitarian (like the LDS Church).  However, it then goes on to say that "Jesus is viewed as both the Father and the Son", making it a trinitarian group.  I'm sure I'm missing something, so it may be nice of someone could clarify this section.  Is it a Nontrinitarian or trinitarian group?--- ARTEST4ECHO(Talk) 17:59, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

message: the article on Christian denomination says "Many churches with roots in Restorationism reject being identified as Protestant or even as a denomination at all ...."  Does The Church of Jesus Christ here describe itself as a Christian denomination? What is the source for this desription? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:17, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
