We have little solid historical evidence before 200 AD about ... We remind Roman Catholics that not only is the earliest evidence of the canon incomplete, but so is the record of the earliest bishops of Rome. In other words, there is no agreement as to the actual order of "Pope" (as Catholics refer to the historic elders of Rome) So the same evidence Catholics point to, in order to prove the canon was not settled before 200 AD, also proves the order of the "popes of Rome" are disputed. "The oldest links in the chain of Roman bishops are veiled in impenetrable darkness. ... at that early day, the government of the congregation composed of Jewish and Gentile Christian elements was not so centralized as it afterwards became. Furthermore, the earliest fathers, with a true sense of the distinction between the apostolic and episcopal offices, do not reckon Peter among the bishops of Rome at all."

When & Where Did The New Testament Church Begin? ... A few months before His death, Jesus said, "Upon this rock I will build my church" (Matthew 16:18). He spoke of some future occasion, but, after the first feast of the Jewish Pentecost following His resurrection, the church was always spoken of as being in existence. Thus, the church had its beginning between the time that Jesus promised to build it and the close of that next Pentecost day. The second Chapter of Acts reveals for the first time all seven of the aforementioned cardinal facts. Speaking at Jerusalem during the Pentecost celebration and guided by the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Peter publicly revealed that Jesus who had been crucified, slain, and resurrected, was God's Son, the promised Savior, the Christ. Those who heard Peter's words being exceedingly sorry for their deeds and their rejection of Jesus, cried out, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" And Peter answered them, saying "Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins ... ... https://www.bible.ca/ntx-origin-church.htm

Is Church Membership Essential to my salvation? ... The search first reveals a command given by the Apostle Paul, as recorded in Hebrews 10: 24,25, "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is: but exhorting one another: and so much more as you see the day approaching". Thus, here is a command directing an earthly meeting together (an assembly) for the purpose of exhorting each other to love and to good works.
