* Each said he was given visions
* Each was told that no true religion existed on earth
* Each said he was sent to restore the long lost faith as the one true religion
* Each had a book claiming to be "inspired by God" which was produced from their teachings
* Each claimed to be illiterate and uneducated, and used this as proof the book was inspired
* Each claimed the Bible was lost, altered, corrupted and unreliable
* Each claimed his new holy book was the most correct and perfect book on earth
* Each claimed to be the final prophet of God
* Each claimed he was persecuted because of his pure faith
* Each was a polygamist who had many wives
