Nicolaitane (Religious group in the New Testament)

The Nicolaitans were a group active in the churches of Ephesus and Pergamum in the late first century, condemned twice by Christ in the letters of Revelation for teaching or practices linked to idolatry and sexual immorality (Revelation 2:6, 15). Some early church writers connected the name to Nicolas, one of the seven men chosen to serve the Jerusalem church in Acts 6:5, though the link is disputed and little else is known of the group's actual teaching.
