Well, for one thousand six hundred years...there weren't any
By New Testament churches I mean, ipso facto, churches part of the one holy catholic apostolic Church. Those in the Book of Revelation had candlesticks in heaven, along with angels (stars), and historical provenance to the Apostles. The LORD Jesus Christ knew them as churches, rebuked them where their works were failing because those He loves He rebukes and chastens, that all with ears to hear may listen, obey, and inherit eternal life.

You are stuck on ‘institutional church’. The One True Church is the body of ALL believers who have been born from above by God’s Holy Spirit, through all of time. Your Org is an institution and your blind spots are exhibiting the strong signs of institutionalization.

I'm curious, of those seven churches spoken of in Revelation which one was the church of Rome?
