The Bible shows us the church in its original form as the Lord intended it to be.
Prophesied – Isa. 2:2-3Promised – Mt. 16:18Pentecost – Acts 2Perfected – days of the apostles
Mt. 18:18; Mt. 28:20; II Cor. 5:20Clear identifying features – Origination (Lk. 18:1), Organization (Phil. 1:1), Worship (pattern), Name (Acts 11:26; Rom. 16:16), Creed (I Pet. 4:11), Membership (Acts 2:36-41)

It is well known through the study of history that there have been many departures from the original church resulting in the church being LOST.
