- Acts 2 - The church starts in 33 A.D.
- Mark 16:15-16 - The church grows.
- I Timothy 4:1-5 - Prophecy of a falling away.
- II Thessalonians 2:1ff - Warnings about the apostasy.
- The truth about the church:
- Name
- Organization
- Worship
- Lord’s Supper
- Give
- Sing
- Pray
- Edify
- Doctrine
- Work
- Preach
- Relieve needy saints
- After 100 A.D., the church gradually fell away.
- At 606 A.D., Boniface III became the first pope.
- In 1517 A.D., Martin Luther started the Reformation.
- In 1534, the Church of England split from the Catholic Church.
- In 1729, the Methodists split from the Church of England.
- Luke 14:26 - Following Christ is the priority.
