  1. ..and that organization and Church, sometimes referred to as the Rigdonites, or Bickertonites (after William Bickerton who succeeded Rigdon in the Church Presidency), is still flourishing today and is more properly known as "The Church of Jesus Christ" (WHQ: Monongahela, Pennsylvania). It is the only true succession of the restored gospel - the only Church that correctly interprets the entire KJV Bible and the Book of Mormon - the word of God.
