What are the 3 original sects of Christianity?

Answer 1

The Church which Jesus Christ established (Church of God) on the 1s Pentecost Sunday, June 17, 31 AD, had a small group of followers who were commonly referred to as followers of 'The Way' or the Nazarene. It wasn't until Antioch some 10+ years afterwards that these followers were sarcastically referred to as Christians.

Answer 2

In the very early days of Christianity, there appear to have been:

Ebionites (""the Poor Ones"), an early Jewish Christian sect that lived in and around Judea from the 1st to the 4th century;

Nazarenes, an early Jewish Christian sect similar to the Ebionites, but they also accepted the virgin birth and divinity of Jesus.

Nazoraeans, a first century offshoot of the Nazarenes, according to Epiphanius.

Cerinthians, who followed the Jewish law, denied that the Supreme God had made the physical world, and denied the divinity of Jesus.

Carpocratians, an early Gnostic sect founded in the first half of the second century.

Some would say that Pauline Christianity, with its distinctive theology, was a separate sect. Its followers were probably absorbed into the proto-Catholic-Orthodox sect early in the second century.

The proto-Catholic-Orthodox sect is believed to have coexisted with the above sects from the earliest times.
