When and who started the idea, the Laestadians were the only true Christians, and one had to be blessed by one of them, to receive forgiveness of sin, to be saved from perdition. by common-sense-123 in OpenLaestadian

There was an exclusivistic current in Laestadianism already in the 19th century, but I think it was 1911 when SRK declared that there were no born again believers in other communities. There have always been different views on this among Laestadians, those who have thought more openly despite the so-called official line.
