Sanban puren pai (ä¸ÂçÂÂä»Â人派 Three Grades of Servant Church) is a Christian doomsday sect in China. The group was founded in Henan by Xu Wenku (å¾ÂæÂÂ庠also known as Xu Shuangfu å¾ÂÃ¥ÂÂå¯Â, 1946âÂÂ2006) who claimed to be the "Great Servant" 大ä»Â人 in the 1990s.
Chinese official sources credited the movement in 2000 with at least half a million members. The name âÂÂThree Grades or Servantsâ came from Xu's teaching that God operates in history through triumvirates: rulers of fifties, of hundreds and of thousands in the Old Testament, teachers, prophets and apostles in the New Testament, and evangelists, handmaids, and servants today.
In 2006, the China Anti-Cult Association (ä¸Âå½åÂÂéªæÂÂÃ¥ÂÂä¼Â) denounced the Three Grades of Servants through a movie called è¦æÂÂÃ¥ÂÂç¨å®ÂæÂÂÃ¥ÂÂä¹ÂçÂÂéÂÂæ³Âç»Âç» ("Beware Of Illegal Organizations Using The Name Of Religion").
