The church of Jesus Christ, traces its roots of origin, to Acts chapter 2—and not Rome.

The Early New Testament, added to their number, those who were being saved, every day.

Is that the mark of the modern NT church? Most modern Biblical scholars, would honestly say no.

When people become victims of abductions, most news agencies give repeated physical descriptions of the person.

Before the end of the telecast, most people know precisely what the missing person looks like.
