Needed Truth Brethren
Needed Truth Brethren, as they are sometimes known, call themselves ''“The Churches of God in the Fellowship of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ".'' Although this is their official legal title, other Christians often classify them as a very conservative strain of Brethrenism, connexional in nature; and holding themselves separate from what they consider to be erroneous practices. The designation, "Needed Truth" was given to them by others based on the ''Needed Truth'' Magazine, which began to be distributed among the Open Brethren in 1888. This magazine espoused what it claimed was a fresh understanding of biblical teaching of the proper constitution of the local church, principles of church government, and doctrinal subjects such as ''The House of God, the Church of God, the Kingdom of God,'' and ''the Body of Christ''. The magazine itself, however, presented these circulated views as being a return to fundamental New Testament principles which it claimed had been forgotten.
==History of the Churches of God==
The Churches of God (Needed Truth Brethren) seceded from the Open Brethren around 1892 (they remember this event as "The Separation"), as a result of the ideas propagated in the Needed Truth magazine finding acceptance in some Open Brethren circles, but not all. This division put into effect what they considered to be a clearer biblical understanding of the different usages of the term 'church' as found in the New Testament (specifically differentiating between local gatherings of faithful disciples and the overall spiritual entity known as the Church which is Christ's Body); took adherence to the Apostles Teaching as the ground of gathering (as opposed to the simple possession of common life in Christ); and established a system of church governance between the local churches which featured local elders consulting together (as an elderhood) across the entire community of churches, so maintaining unity of teaching and practice throughout (something they saw to be manifestly lacking among the Open Brethren).
Although a minority of the Open Brethren assemblies officially separated and joined the Needed Truth movement, their literature continued to influence many of the "Gospel Hall Brethren", who tended to be more conservative than many of their fellow-Brethren.
