“When was the first Church started?

I can not and will not ever understand how Baptist can believe that as important as the church is to the Lord, that He did not start the first church while He was here on earth. Some would rather call themselves Protestants than Baptist. There is no history that the Baptist was ever part of Catholicism. We are not nor have we ever been Protestants.

The Universal Invisible church makes no sense. There is no way that the Universal Invisible church can carryout the commandments the Lord commanded her to do. The definition of the word church itself is totally opposite of what the Universal Invisible church is, and the Universal Invisible church totally destroys the true meaning of Baptism and makes it totally worthless.
 
The Lord said in 1st Cor. 12:28 “And God hath set some in the church, first  apostles,” Does not this tell us, that God called out His church and the first ones He called out and set in the church were apostles? We find in Matthew chapter 4 Jesus called out Peter and Andrew then He went on through towns and villages calling out people. Then in Matthew 5 they go on top of the mountain group together and Jesus preached to them. I have to ask, what was this event, a picnic? Well I can’t help to believe it was the first church assembled together and Jesus preached the first sermon. It makes more sense than a church scattered out all over the world that cannot agree on what God says in His Holy Script.

The Universal Invisible church is nothing more or less than a compromise for a lot of “churches” that have no history. It is not a body fitly framed together Eph. 4:16. The members cannot meet together to observe the Lord’s Supper. The bottom line is the Universal Invisible church is nothing like unto that in which the Lord describes in His Holy Script. Acts Chapter 2 doesn’t have anything to do with the beginning of the church. Jesus promised to send the Comforter once He had left. We see in Acts 2:1 - 4 the Holy Spirit came into the Church to replace the Lord Jesus, because He had just ascended to His kingdom. Nothing was started here, it was that the Church was to wait for the Holy Spirit to come and continue the glorious work that the Saviour had started. And it was indeed a glorious time because about 3,000 souls were saved and added to the church on this day.
