Bible Standard September 1879

Conditional immortality became an issue among conservative Christians in New Zealand, towards the end of the 19th Century. It was regarded by many as “heresy.” Some who held this belief were not permitted to teach in several mainline denominations. As a result many Conditionalists decided it had become necessary to form their own denomination (in later years this was known as the Churches of Christ, Life and Advent).The Bible Standard was their publication.
