>>The first Christians had no doubts about how to determine which was the true Church and which doctrines the true teachings of Christ.<<

86% of the churches recorded in Revelation were in error. Which one are you referring to?

What we believe, Nicene Creed, in “One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic” Church as founded by Jesus Christ.

http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/index.cfm

See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Christ Jesus does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles. Do ye also reverence the deacons, as those that carry out the appointment of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrneans, 8:2 (c. A.D. 110).

Which church do you belong to?
