The estimate is that today there exists over 33,000 Christian sects. Of course none of them consider their group a sect. A sect is other groups.

Nee and Lee didn't think their group was a sect. They didn't even consider their movements as religious. That just made them non-religious sects.

Evangelical would also not think that his group is a sect or denomination, not divisive, not contentious, not “of Lee”. It’s really insane how two people can look at the same issue and derive an opposite conclusion. Fox News vs. MSNBC.

I enjoyed your point that “none of them consider their group a sect”. Would be funny if it were not true.
