read the book of Acts, You won’t see anything like the Roman Catholic church in their. No Pope,No transubstantiation, no indulgences, no purgatory, no agoration of Mary....nothing of the sort.
so the standard for whether a doctrine is true or not is whether it is taught in the book of Acts?
really? if that were true, goodbye deity of Christ, the Trinity, the Virgin birth, justification by grace, etc etc.
oh, also you won’t find anywhere in the book of Acts the doctrine that if a doctrine isn’t contained in the book of Acts it must be false.
btw, the Church is not the vine, Jesus Christ is the vine...the Church is the branches.
