The Early Biblical Church — the apostolic root (c. AD 33)
tradition
The one Church as it began: the apostles and the first disciples at Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out and about three thousand were added in a day (Acts 2). The root every tradition below descends from — one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism (Ephesians 4:4-6). It held undivided through the first millennium; the branches that follow are its visible, datable divisions, gathered and cited, never judged.
