*It was founded by Jesus Christ Himself in Mt 16:18.

Christ founded a gathering.

*It would be built on Simon Peter, Mt 16:18.

No.

*It would be defended by GOD Himself, Mt 16:18-19.

Always is - church meaning local expression of believers.

*It would have authority given by Jesus Christ, Mt 16:19,18:17-18.

Yup. Every believing church.

*It would be guided by the Holy Spirit who will dwell within it, Jn 14:15-17, Act 15:28,16:6.

Yup. Every believing church and believer.

*It would be one and undivided, Mk 3:24-25.

His universal church will always be one.

*It would have one fold and one shepherd, Jn 10:16.

Yup. Always true of every believing church.

*It would have Priests, Bishops, and Deacons, 1Tim 3:1-13.

Sorry, no priests in the NT Church.

*It must have the Holy Eucharist celebration, Jn 6:42-70, Acts 2:42.

No, the memorial of the Lord’s Supper.

*It must be found in all nations, Mt 28:19.

Yup. Protestant churches all over. I must point out that this will happen by the end of the age.

*It must be found in all centuries, Mt 28:20.

Whoa. You should have read that Scripture before you posted. It says CHRIST will be with us until the end of the ages. He has been and will be.

*Jesus Christ said He would be with His Church every day, in every year, until the end of the world, Mt 28:20.

It doesn’t mean Rome. It means He will be with believing churches, which make up His church until the end of the age.

Are you saying you don’t believe in the Bible?
