No! Instead the only inspired account of how the first Christians practiced their faith comes down by writings in the book Acts of the Apostles.
Your correct Mrg, Acts is how the first Christians practiced their faith, but still open to interpretation, matter of fact Acts as been the biggest divider in Protestantism, from the very first the reformers were divided, all teaching different things, which caused more divisions, many wanted to go back to original Christianity of Acts, but this caused more problems as everyone had their own take on what’s actually saying.
Thy were focused on the body and blood of Jesus, they were meeting daily to break bread.
The early reformers were mostly coming from Catholic Clerics and they knew very well what it meant, but because they were stripped of the priesthood they knew very well they cannot consecrate the Eucharist any more, they had no choice but to go only symbolic only.
In it we learn that holy spirit is the ''power'' from God that has enabled and is enabling Christ's disciples to ''be witnesses of me (Jesus) in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.”
(Acts 1:8) But you will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.”
Again, I have no problems with that, but you must remember, there were no JW, Protestants or bible only Christians.
This work is today close to reaching completion. Once it is accomplished to Jehovah's satisfaction ''then the end will come''.
Jesus promised,''this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. --- Matt 24:14
Your funny MrG, The CC was well ahead of JW in preaching the gospel, but what about the fall away, it has to happen before the end will come, and you keep saying the JW is growing.
You too should checkout your history of the reformers, you have no idea of all the mish mash your founding fathers came up with, it’ll drive you crazy if you can make any sense of it
For example, this end time you keep preaching, it came about mainly from Thomas Müntzer hebelieved that the end of the world was imminent and that it was the task of the true believers to aid God in ushering in a new era of history,
If you’re really interested how the first Christians practiced their faith in Acts, watch that video clip I gave before on Francis Chan the Pastor, or this version by Lizzie, she’s a bubbly person might also get some entertainment while you watch the clip.
Lizzie was also a Protestant converted to Catholicism 2years ago, after discovering the real truth about Catholicism not the anti-Catholicism she’s been feed like you also have been.
But the way he goes into acts, plus the church fathers, doesn’t just rely on his take on scripture only.
I know you’re not allowed to watch it, but I advise that you do you will learn something tonight.
