The First Century Gospel Church is a Christian sect that advocates faith healing as opposed to actual medicine. Indeed, a married couple attending the church was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment after they chose to follow a faith healing program instead of seeking proper medical attention for their sick child. The child eventually died.[1] Although they claim to follow the Gospel as preached in the first century, that seems to be somewhat of an absurd claim, as no "standard" version of the Gospels then existed, and various conflicting interpretations could be found; indeed, even among the several apostles, there were disagreements over doctrine.[2]
