There is one sure way you can know you are in a restored congregation. When the appeal is made to respond to the Gospel invitation in a restored congregation, you will hear the very same words that were spoken by the apostles on the Day of Pentecost when they were asked what must be done in order to be saved from their sin.

Is that all the Apostles did?

I don't believe so. First they preached the Good news, and when those hearing believed, I imagine the first thing they thought to ask was that question - I know I would have.

Again, once one becomes a Christian, and saved, they are like babies who need nourishment - and that's what the Apostles fed them. None of the letters in the NT were written to unbelievers, just believers. Non-believers had to have the Gospel proclaimed to them, not nourishment, for they had to have belief first.
