A two-and-a-half-year-old thread? It's interesting to look in the phone book and see how many churches have gone out of business in the last two and a half years. For others, it may have ended in the doubling or tripling of their life span.

Have you really looked at the Crusades and what really happened? It wasnt all the doing of the Catholic Church, but rather some very enthusiastic individuals opposed to the Moslem takeover of Europe, etc. Yes, it did go overboard, but the Catholic Church has apologized for that I believe. this thread was a LONG time ago...but Obama just reinvented the Crusades and as far as he'd concerned...the Christians should be really ashamed!!!!
Where's Charles Martel when we really need him????? and why didn't the original Crusaders at leaset have napalm if not nukes?????

It is not accurate. All Christian churches trace their founding to 33AD.
Essentially true in that all bona fide New Testament churches were by definition founded in communion with the one holy catholic apostolic church which the LORD Jesus Christ founded upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Himself as the chief cornerstone. However there is no scriptural evidence that all the communities that call themselves "Christian churches" are, in fact, these churches. The concept of genuine or bona fide churches belonging to the one holy catholic church is clearly laid out in Acts and Revelation, and their origin is historically apostolic.
One could argue that one's community is historically apostolic but the burden of proof is on the claimant, much as the Gospels of Matthew and Luke laid claim to the geneaologies to establish the line of the Messiah.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Acts, Catholic chapter nine, Protestant verses twenty six to thirty one,
Revelation, Catholic chapter one, Protestant verse twenty,
Revelation, Catholic chapter two, Protestant verse eleven,

I believe infant Baptism derives directly from Jews presenting their 8 day old babies in the Temple for God’s Blessing and Thanking God for the baby.
