This the history of YOUR Church

No it is not the history of my church It is the history of the great falling away of the Church of Christ. If the author wanted to start with the counsel of the church of Christ. instead of the catholic church he would have started with the counsel of Jerusalem.

"Council of Jerusalem" is a name applied subsequently to a meeting described in Acts of the Apostles chapter 15 and probably referred to in St. Paul's letter to the Galatians. Paul claims he "went up again to Jerusalem" ( ie a second time) with Barnabas and Titus "in response to a revelation", in order to "lay before them the gospel (he) proclaimed among the Gentiles" (Gal 2:2); them being according to Paul "those who were supposed to be acknowledged leaders" (Gal 2:6): James, Cephas and John/ He describes this as a "private meeting" (not a public council) and notes that neither he nor Titus, who was Greek, were pressurised to be circumcised.

[Salvation]

As a Catholic, I have always counted the Council of Jerusalem as the first council. Unfortunately, many Protestants have disagreed with me.
