I literally never heard of "Concordant Believers" before. It´s an extremely strange sectarian current at the outskirts of American Christianity. Their theology sounds like a mixture of E W Bullinger´s ultra-dispensationalism and Charles Russell´s original Watchtower Society (not the later JW´s).
The anti-Trinitarianism and universalism comes from Russell, while the strong distinction between Israel and the Gentile Church resembles both Russell and Bullinger. Note that the Concordant groups seem to reject both baptism and the Lord´s supper.
Most sensationally, the Concordant Believers are "liberal" in their views of homosexuality (especially lesbianism), transgenderism, sex before marriage, prostitution, polygamy, and abortion?! I didn´t see *that* coming. Definitely one of the most peculiar Christian groups I´ve encountered.
