Where in the world did you ever get the idea that you were forbidden to kneel in the early church?

The First Council of Nicea 325 a.d. in the 20th canon forbade kneeling

Some early churches had no pews. Standing was (and in some places still is) seen as a sign of respect. When an officer enters the room, enlisted men stand, for example.
