During some 40 years up until Christ’s heavenly rule began in 1914, the Bible Students had been freed from many of the non - Biblical doctrines of Christendom, such as infant baptism, immortality of the human soul, purgatory, hellfire torment, and a Trinitarian God. But it took additional time to purge all wrong ideas.
