All Christian denominations, generally speaking, place for their beginning that early period when the Apostles “went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following” (Mark I6:20). The Apostles themselves were not the authors of Christian doctrines, but they were God’s chosen vessels anointed with the power of the Holy Ghost to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In their teachings special emphasis was placed upon the spiritual welfare of man and his need of receiving the definite spiritual experiences God has provided. 

The Apostles taught the Word of God in its entirety, and as “builders” of the faith, labored together in the laying of the foundation of the early church; and that foundation was Christ, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (I Corinthians 3:II).
