That's where we would say that the New Testament local church movement began. It began of course with the Lord Jesus Christ and history would tell us that it started around 30 AD and we know that the clock begins as far as the timeline with the birth of Christ and the movement that the Lord Jesus Christ started, this new movement of Christianity started around 30 AD and of course he began to gather followers, he began to preach the gospel and it continued on even after his death, burial, resurrection, after his ascension with the starting of local New Testament churches. Twelve apostles, they basically spread Christianity worldwide and beginning at Jerusalem and it spread mainly through the apostle Paul to the Gentile world.
