OH! I just figured out what church you must belong to! It has "Baptist Church" in the name, but it sure isn't popular with anyone outside their membership.
The truth is not popular with those who reject it! Guess again the name of my church!
That may have been a Freudian slip. I think the word you wanted there is continuation not contamination. BUT it is the RCC that has the continuation from Jesus to today. Papal succession and only the RCC can give you the name of each Pope in the succession that was it's leader back to Peter who was given the keys to the kingdom from Jesus and the safe guard from the Holy Spirit til the end of time.
No church has remained uncontaminated or is a continuation of that true church that isn't polluted, from the 1st century as Jesus' parable of the wheat and weeds indicates. The separation is necessary and occurs at the Harvest. If one church was true from then, no separation wound be needed.
I have not looked at the link but the title is 100% correct. I am not a protestant and my religion pre-dates the RCC.
Are you one of those Jews for Christ?
You have a point: The first Christians were not Catholic, they were Jews who believed in Jesus. Jesus was a Jew as well as the 12 Apostles. Paul, who came later was also a Jew that converted. In fact, gentiles were not a force until many years later. Paul was monumental in recruiting gentiles, but these remained a minority until about 88 AD when many Jews decided to leave Christianity.
If you come from the Church that had Jesus and Peter as pastors then you have to be a Jew for Christ.
And you are correct---------they were established 32 AD.

So how does your church worships? As you know there was no New Testament back them. So I assume you guys still go by sacred oral tradition and the Old Testament. Do you do the eucharist? Does the church mandate circumcision for all males?
They don't have a clue. And "Baptist Church" is not part of it's name.
