The point of the sentence is that those men spoke to the greeks, not founded the church

(Acts 11:19-21) “Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only. And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Act 2:47 Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved

What do you figure??? A group of people carried Peter in on a throne??? Peter was decked out in a gold robe while people bowed and kissed his feet??? And then Peter built the 1st Cathedral in Antioch???

These Grecians were 'added to the church'...There was no building...They didn't need no stinkin' building...The 'church' is not a building...

Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Is there a point to this display of Scriptural Tourette’s?

If the Scriptures said what you claim, it would only take one quote.
