Not really MTD. You want confusion? Produce for me even one denomination/group/sect...even one single PERSON who taught what y'all call the "apostles doctrine" before 1913?
I agree with you guys that the Bible is the authority not church history. However when we construct a narrative of what the apostle's taught that doesn't match ANYTHING ever observed before our American sect in the 1900's I think that's problematic and a pretty strong indicator that the apostles didnt teach what some believe they did.
