The quote only specified the first century. How is that you went from the first century to the fourth? That is misleading and fallacious until the person you have quoted actually makes such a remark.
BTW Christians are only Christians when they have been baptized in Jesus name in any century. Without baptism in Jesus name you are not a Christian no matter how many times you go to church, kiss the Pope, or observe any other form of worship - having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof...
