Ten Rejected Sects of Christianity

Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Cain_slaying_Abel,_1608-1609

Many of them can be classified as Gnostic, which is normally characterized by the rejection of the material world and embrace of the spiritual world, often in direct conflict with the established religions of the time.

The ten are listed with commentary here.
