Interestingly, Tertullian ultimately became so disenchanted with the failure of his fellow Christians to follow his sort of “orthodoxy,” that he ultimately joined with another, non-Gnostic Christian sect, the Montanists. Founded around 150 CE by Montanus, in central Anatolia, Montanism emphasized the companionship of the Paraclete (Holy Spirit) with each believer, and further asserted that all believers could become “Christian prophets.” Most Montanists outside of Anatolia lived in communes; a large one was outside Carthage. Apparently Tertullian became enamored of the piety and asceticism in which the Montanists of this commune lived, and after a while, joined them. While he may have written after this second conversion of his life, nothing of it remains.
