Re: The Early Christians: In Their Own Words

At that time the holy nature of baptism and the Lord’s Supper required no 
ecclesiastical forms. Outwardly, baptism was much more like a simple bath 
than a church rite, and the Lord’s Supper more like an ordinary mealtime. 
At these times the gathered church heard the apostolic confession of
faith, 
and readings from Jewish prophetic writings, the Lord’s Sayings, and the 
gospels. Spirit-filled witnesses gave testimonies, the believers called 
upon Christ in prayers, gifts were offered and hymns sung in praise of God

and Christ. God responded with the coming of the Christ and of his Spirit.
