CES Letter, Page 90
After his excommunication, Martin was associated with the following groups, all of whom accepted the Book of Mormon as scripture:
- Parrish-Boynton
- Rebaptism by LDS missionary (1842)
- Strangites (1846)
- William McLellin’s abortive reorganization (1847–48)
- Gladdenites
- Return to LDS Church (1870)
Martin also had some sympathy for the Shakers’ view of on-going revelation, but did not adopt many of their practices and tenants. Click here
