'''Armstrongism''' is the common name of the doctrine taught by Herbert W. Armstrong, the original founder of the ''World Wide Church of God'' in the mid-1950s. It has been classified as a [[cult]]. He opposed [[Trinity|Trinitarianism]] as an evil deception by Satan, asserting that God the Father and God the Son (Jesus) are two separate beings, essentially two Gods. At its height, the World Wide Church of God boasted 150,000 members scattered throughout the world. After his death he was succeeded by his son, the charismatically handsome and well-spoken televangelist Garner Ted Armstrong, who soon became embroiled in controversial charges of having deviated from the original doctrine of his father's church by a form of [[Syncretism|syncretistic]] compromise with aspects of mainstream Christianity. The church split into factions, one of them the ''Restored Church of God'' which claims to have faithfully retained all of the doctrines preached by Herbert W. Armstrong. Garner Ted Armstrong together with his supporters reorganized the church into the [[Corporation|corporate]] ''World Wide Church of God, International''.
