You would find only one kind of church, Christ's church (Matt. 16:18; I Corinthians 12:12-13). No denominations existed. No one wore the names of great preachers, particular doctrines, notable cities or nations. The disciples were called Christians (Acts 11:26).

You would find no pope nor patriarch, no president nor general overseer presiding over the church. Christ was head over all things to his church (Eph. 1:22).

You would find no infant members. Only those who believed receive baptism (Mk. 16:16).

You would see no baptismal founts for sprinkling because in those days baptism was administered by immersion. Converts went down into the water, were buried with Christ and then raised up in the likeness of his resurrection (Acts 8:38-39; Rom. 6:4).

You would see no women preachers or bishops in that church. The apostles suffered not a woman to teach or have authority over the men (I Tim. 2:12).

There would be no images, incense, prayer beads or holy water in that church. Such things came many years later after the apostles of Christ were all dead and gone.

There would be no bands, or professional musicians to entertain, nor musical instruments in their worship. Eleven hundred years would pass before instrumental music became accepted in churches. They sang and made melody in their hearts (Eph. 5:19).

There would be no reverends or holy fathers. Jesus forbade his people from wearing such religious titles (Matt. 23:8-9). They were all brethren.
