Was there no 'church in the wilderness'?
What is the 'church'? It is the congregation, the ekklesia, the qahal, of the Lord.
Been around at least since Sinai, and I believe it wouldn't be unscriptural to say it goes back to Abraham, at least. Possibly Noah, and possibly all the way back to the days of Seth...
But I do not know of any scripture which teaches the church came into existence on the day of Pentecost.
If anything, that was the day the church was baptised with the Holy Spirit, completing it's transition into the New Covenant.
