早期新教传教士在华传教所引起的一个意外结果是太平天国革命的出现。这是中国历史上第一次采用基督教形式的农民起义。虽然这种基督教形式在不少西方传教士看来属于异端,但洪秀全建立的宗教形式的组织(暂且仍称它为“拜上帝会”)确实可以视为是最早建立的中国本色基督教会的一种尝试,尽管最终并不成功。 An unexpected result of preaching missionaries in China by early Protestant missionaries was the emergence of the Taiping Rebellion. This is the first peasant uprising in Christian history in Chinese history. Although this form of Christianity seems to belong to a heresy to many Western missionaries, the organization of religious forms established by Hong Xiuquan (for the time being still referred to as the “worship of God”) can indeed be regarded as the earliest established Chinese Christian church An attempt, though ultimately unsuccessful.
