So I started attending this Bible study on the Book of Revelation. My parents attend an AoG church. Although I am not a big fan of it the church has not been too charismatic, so I thought it wouldn't be bad to see what they had to say.
Well this Wednesday night the study was from the beginning part of Revelation, and the pastor started covering the churches and what they are. Even though we only covered the first church - the church of Ephesus, he gave us a quick over-view of the other churches. He stated that the church of Sardis is considered the "church of the Reformation." I never really looked in-depth in Revelation studies (I have read the book on my own, but I never participated in a Bible study or anything of that nature to hear what other people have to say about it) so this was the first time I have heard that.
Anyways, I googled: "church of sardis the reformation church" and the first hit I got was The Church At Sardis so I guess there are more people out there that believe this.
Have any of you guys ever heard of this teaching on Revelation, where the church of Sardis is considered the church of the Reformation?
