Back To The First Church

 THERE IS A NEED to understand the pattern and to EXPLAIN with understanding the problem in most of today’s church establishments. The question is who is right or wrong in the understanding the Theology and Doctrine of the church as we go back to the First Church. Rather than trying to explain well over 2,500 Christian groups and denominations in North America alone, is it not best to explain the original faith and doctrine of the church? By studying what the Founder of the Church established and gave in the beginning, “we can start from the beginning of the Church itself and work our way through history to the present.”

 

..taken from portions of book Bible Doctrines of New Testament Church...

 

The birthday of the Church was Pentecost, the day the Holy Spirit descended on the twelve Apostles and one hundred and twenty (120) in the Upper Room. That day some 3,000 souls believed in Christ and were baptized. When the first Christian community began, "they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread (Communion), and in prayers" (Act 2:42).  From Jerusalem, the faith in Christ spread throughout Judea, to Samaria (Acts 8), to Antioch and the Gentiles (Acts 13), where we find new converts and new churches throughout Asia Minor and other countries of the Roman Empire.

From the pages of the Epistles and the book of Acts, we learn that the Church was not simply another organization in Roman society. The Lord Jesus Christ had given the promise of the Holy Spirit "will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13). That promise was fulfilled at Pentecost, when the Church was given at birth as divine institution far above all earthly organizations. In Ephesians (Eph. 2:21) St. Paul called it "a holy temple of the Lord." The Church was a dynamic organism, the living Body of Jesus Christ. She made an indelible impact in the world, and those who became part of her were inwardly renewed.

But we also discover in the New Testament itself that the Church had her share of problems. All was not perfection in her movements and procedures. Individuals in the Church sought to lead her off the path of the Apostles established order, and they had to be dealt with and the various errors they propagated. There were several errors from doctrines taking place in the churches demanding repentance. The Church in Laodicea is a vivid example (Revelation chapter 3). Discipline was administered for the sake of purity in the Church. But there was growth and a maturing even as the Church was attacked from within and without. The same Spirit who gave her birth gave her power to correct and purify her members. The Church grew and became strong until she eventually covered the whole of the earth and the Roman Empire.
