Bible Student movement - The New Covenant Bible Students
In 1909, Pastor Russell more pointedly expressed that faithful Christians, as the "true church", were not being called and developed under the New Covenant, but rather that the New Covenant was future, a covenant applied to the nation of Israel.
This, and controversy over other doctrines, led some to leave the movement in 1910. The result was the formation of the New Covenant Bible Students, who began to hold their yearly Christian Believers Conferences, teaching that Christians were being called and developed under the New Covenant. Among the membership was E. C. Hennings, formerly Australian Branch Manager of the International Bible Students Association. He published The New Covenant Advocate and Kingdom Herald magazine, which continued to be published until 1944. The New Creation Bible Students formed out of this group, and began publishing the New Creation magazine in 1940, eventually leading to another offshoot group - the Christian Millennial Fellowship, which became a publishing house for the New Creation Bible Students.
M.L. McPhail, Pilgrim member of the Chicago Bible Students, disassociated himself from Russell's movement at the same time as the New Covenant controversy emerged, and led the New Covenant Bible Students in the United States, founding the New Covenant Believers in 1909. The group published The Kingdom Scribe magazine until 1975. The group still exists today under the name Berean Bible Students Church.
In 1928, the Italian Bible Students Association in Hartford, Connecticut withdrew its support from the Watchtower Society and changed its name to the Millennial Bible Students Church, then eventually to Christian Millennial Fellowship, Inc.. They eventually rejected many of Russell's writings as erroneous. The group is now located in New Jersey.
