===[[File:ChalcedonTheo.png]] Chalcedonianism===
Chalcedonian Christianity is the umbrella term for the Christian groups that accepted the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AND the Council of Nicea in 325, the common term for what can be considered pre-schismatic Christianity from which both Catholicism and Orthodoxy originate. On the council it was decided that the nature of Christ is dual, both human and divine: '''Dyophysitism.''' It encompasses modern Catholicism and Orthodoxy, as well as the protestant denominations that recognize the two councils. In some ways, it can also be a term that refers to a potential reunion of Catholic and Orthodox churches back into a single Church, a potentially pejorative term: Cathodoxy, that some may embrace as a Christian identity as opposed to just Catholicism and/or Orthodoxy.

===[[File:JWTheo.png]] Jehovah's Witnesses===
Jehovah's Witnesses is a restorationist, non-trinitarian, and Millenarian Christian denomination that follows one God known as 'Jehovah' who is the creator and sovereign ruler of The Universe, and Jesus is The son of God, but not a part of the Trinity. They are religiously rejectionist and anti-nationalist, believing earthly politics are illegitimate and that faith knows no nation or borders. As such, they refuse to swear any oaths. They are run by a [[File:Oligarchy.png]] council of variable size called the Governing Body.
Adherents of Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate traditional Christian holidays such as Christmas and Easter due to them not being in the Bible. JW also rejects the universally accepted claim that Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross, rather than believing Jesus died on a torture stake.
===Iglesia ni Cristo===
Iglesia ni Christo (Eng: "Church of Christ") is a restorationist non-trinitarian denomination of Christianity originating in The Philippines, adherents of The INC believe God the Father is the only true God, and that Jesus Christ is the Son of God but not God himself. They hold a unitarian view of the Godhead. INC doesn't celebrate traditional Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter believing their roots are in Paganism.
