Has there ALWAYS been a true church?

There is one Church and those local bodies of believers are a part of that One Church

I believe that all the church people who argue and label other members "not saved" might be surprised to find them in the same place together when they die or the Rapture happens

The basis of church is faith, faith in what Christ did on the cross which leads us to repent and obey.

I also don't believe it can ever be proven that there has been an unbroken chain of Oneness Pentecostals from 33 AD till now. Ive never seen any evidence of an unbroken chain

I don't believe one is necessary either. Having said that it is possible there could have been a handful of people somewhere on planet earth that believed A.B and C but if they did they were either silent about their faith or quickly killed for heresy

On the other hand has there always been an unbroken chain of "faith only" Churches? That did not require water baptism or the Holy Spirit? That required NOTHING except a confession of faith? That would be very hard to find historically.
