The Church Apostles Decoded: Summary - The 'foundation' of the
Christian Church era is the foundation set forth by God at the hands of
the 12 Apostles - There is no alternate, replacement or emerging
foundation [Gospel] for the True Christian Church only the one original
faithful foundation that is already well established and is still in
existence today -- "Acts 1:1-3 The former treatise [the Gospel of Luke]
have I made, O Theophilus, of all that *Jesus began both to do and
teach, *Until the day in which He was taken up [Ascension], after that
He [Jesus] through the Holy Ghost had given commandments **unto
the Apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He shewed Himself
alive after His passion [Passover Week] by many infallible proofs, being
seen of them forty days, and ***speaking of the things pertaining
[Scripture] to the Kingdom of God:" ... "Acts 4:33 And with great power
[the Holy Spirit] gave the Apostles witness of the resurrection of the
Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them [believers] all."
"Ephesians 3:1-7 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner [in Rome] of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, If ye have heard of
the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward: How that by revelation He made known unto
me the Mystery; as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the
Mystery [Triunity] of Christ Which **in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as **it is now
revealed unto His holy Apostles and prophets by the [Holy] Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of
the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ **by the Gospel: Whereof I was made a minister, according
to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of His power." -- "2 Peter 3:1-2 This second
epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: That ye
may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the [O.T.] Holy Prophets, and of the Commandment
**of us the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour:" -- "Revelation 21:10-14 And he [Angel] carried me [Apostle John]
away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem [New
Jerusalem], descending out of Heaven from God, Having the Glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most
precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the
gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the Twelve Tribes of the Children of Israel:
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall
of the city had **twelve foundations, and in them the names of the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb." {Note: The
teaching and leadership examples [from God] then through the 12 Apostles [1 Corinthians 15:1-10] of Jesus Christ
are the 'foundation' for the entire Christian Church. So much so and so important is their foundation to the Church
age that the eternal foundation of the New Jerusalem is named with their names.}
The Church Apostles Decoded: The Nicene Creed (325 A.D.): ... And I
believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth
from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together
is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe in
one holy catholic [universal] and ***[A]postolic Church (Acts 2:42)

Christ] for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the
