My question for you is after Pentecosti am I right to believe that our church/religion was born, where was the very first church built and where?
Answer to Question 607 Yes you are absolutely right. At the Lord's Ascension into heaven he told them to wait in Jerusalem until the Descent of the Holy Spirit who will perfect them and teach them all things. Pentecost is the celebration of this event and is the official birthday of the Church. After the Descent of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles began their mission of teaching and spreading the word about Christ the Saviour. The very first churches were in peoples houses but I have no idea where the very first church was built.
