are registered with the conference is unknown but it is likely much higher than the registered number. Doctrines Basic Restoration Branches movement beliefs reaffirm the original RLDS doctrines. The RLDS church holds that Joseph Smith was succeeded by Joseph Smith III and not by Brigham Young. The "Epitome of Faith" by Joseph Smith is often cited as a statement of faith and Restoration Branches missionaries typically use the "Go Ye and Teach" slide series. The "six fundamental principles of the Restored gospel" are often cited as the foundation of traditional RLDS belief. They are found in the sixth chapter of Hebrews in the Bible. They are: Faith towards God. Repentance Baptism of water. Laying on of hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost. (analogous to confirmation) Resurrection of the dead. Eternal judgement. The works of 20th-century RLDS ministers Arthur A. Oakman and Evan Fry are significant influences on contemporary 21st-century Restoration Branches movement thought. Fry's radio program "Hear Ye Him", representing the church's views in the 1950s, largely continue to represent contemporary mainstream Restoration Branches theology. Priesthood In the RLDS church, there are Prophets (Presidents of the RLDS church), Apostles, High Priests, Bishops, Patriarchs, seventy, Elders, Priests, Teachers and Deacons. Although some members of the higher priesthood offices (such as High Priests, Seventy and Patriarchs) still survive within the Restoration Branches movement, for many years, the sect was only able to ordain elders, priests, teachers, and deacons due to the scattered conditions they perceived in their Church. There are many divisions within the Restoration Movement today: At the October 2008 United States National Conference (Joint Conference of Restoration Branches) several individuals were ordained to the office of Seventy. These are the first new ordinations to that office recognized by any Restoration Branches group in over 20 years. Others have been since called and ordained to the office of Seventy, and at the 2011 conference, several individuals were ordained to the office of High Priest. However, there is still debate within the Restoration Branches movement as to whether or not the ordinations were legitimate. This group would be known among the Restoration as JCRB supporters. Many of the Restoration Branches do not accept JCRB ordinations to date. The Conference of Restoration Elders (CRE) represents the body of the Restoration Branches that to date only are authorized to ordain men called of God to the offices of Elder, Priest, Teacher, and
