Christendom Sects?
According to the dictionaries definition of sect.
All religions are sects.
Unitarians & Jehovah's Witnesses are the only two that don't believe in a trinity, Mormons have a variation of gods / Gods if I understand their theology correctly.
The christian sects teach that all anointed Christians are born again. they just have different meanings to the term.
From just accepting Christ, to being blessed with the holy spirit.
Catholic and Orthodox mainly use images unless you classify a simple cross as an image.
Kingdom of God as the only hope for mankind?
Just Jehovah's Witnesses that I know of. Most others believe it's a feeling with us.
Mary, Catholics,
Purgatory, Catholics
Rapture: 'Born again' 'Fundelmentalist' and many more are jumping on this band wagon.
Saints. Again the beliefs vary from a chosen few who can be prayed to. To the belief that all christians become saints.
Speaking in tonues:
Pentecostals mainly.
I hope this helps

1. The Catholic church and it's descendants. (So mostly all of the christian sects except for Unity Pentecostals, Mormons, and Jehovah Witnesses... because of this they're considered not christian by other christian sects)
2. Mostly all christian sects except some have different ways of viewing being-born again, and some emphasize it more for example baptists, while others don't such as catholics and orthodox
3. Catholics, Orthodox, Some Episcopalians, and certain Protestant sects
4. None since it goes against the first commandment. Catholics, Orthodox, and some Protestant sects Venerate Mary, which means that they honor her for being the Mother of Jesus but donot worship her as a diety or anything other then a creature who is highly looked upon
5. Catholics, and Orthodox believe in a place after death before heaven but have different views about it. Catholics call this place purgatory.
6. Baptists, and some other Protestant sects.
7. All Christians believe in saints. There are different views of saints. Such as all Christians believe the word saints means Christians on earth and in heaven, but the term saint is also used to identify those people who our in heaven which catholics/orthodox venerate and ask to intercede to God for them.
8. Pentecostals emphasize this "gift" and believe all have it. While other christians believe that this is a grace that is rare given to one by God. Such as the gift of healing.

Her soul magnifies the Lord (Luke 1:46-55)! Think of what that means for just a moment.
Everything about Our Lady points straight back to the Father, Whose faithful daughter she is; to the Son, Whose mother she is; and to the Holy Ghost Who overshadowed her. There is no one in all of History whose relationship with God is as complex, fulfilled, and achingly beautiful as Mary's. She is not only the greatest of Saints, she is our Mother, as Jesus is our Brother and Savior. In honoring her, we honor Him -- and imitate Him, as we are admonished to both honor our parents and imitate Christ, Who loved His Mother.
Adam and Eve, immaculate from their first moments, prefigure Mary and Jesus, also without original sin from their conceptions -- the only four people immaculate from their first moments, creating a brillian poetic symmetry in Scripture. And as Eve through her disobedience, was the means through whom Adam brought sin into the world, Mary, the New Eve, through her obedience, was the means through whom salvation entered the world when she gave birth to her Son, the New Adam, our Savior.
Hail, Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.
It just strikes me as evil, this not uncommon attempt to diminish Mary's status and the unceasing accusations against Catholics of trying to raise her status to that of God's. There's something very sinister and ugly in it, and I find it offensive. We Catholics take great care in pointing out that "worship" in the sense of latria 3 is GOD'S alone -- even to the point of having separate terms for the honor and adoration due to God as opposed to the honor and veneration of the Saints -- including His greatest Saint, Mary. They are:
latria: the honor due to God alone
dulia: the honor due to human creatures worthy of respect
hyperdulia: the honor due to Mary as God's greatest creation and our Queen Mother
To love Mary takes nothing at all from Christ, but honors our Blessed Lord by Whose grace she is who she is: His greatest creation, the greatest of Saints, the Queen of Heaven, the Immaculate Conception, the spotless Virgin, the Ark of the Covenant, the New Eve, the mother of God, and the mother of Israel -- our mother who wants nothing more for us than to pray for us and show us her Son.
