Can you show me your church or denomination in the Bible by its name, teaching, organization and methods of worship?

Catholic is not the church of the bible. They have changed over the years and no longer teach what the Bible teaches. (Also name "Catholic" not in Bible.) Jehovah's Witness also teaches many things that do not agree with the Bible. JW's claim their name comes from Isa. 43:10, but they fail to realize AFTER THIS God promised "a new name" (Isa. 62:2).

The church in the Bible wasn't divided by denomination. There were the Jews, Messianic Jews (Christians who kept Jewish customs) and Christians. I'm Pentecostal (old school) not the modernized one (God doesn't change, and God doesn't need help). And the way we worship is the same way the "primative" church did. And use and teach the doctrine that is in the Bible, we don't use anything else, because there is nothing that equals or is greater than God's word.

Secondly, there is only one way to God. Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and no man comes to the Father but by Me." Accept the Lord as your personal savior, pray, read and study the Bible, and live the way God tells you to through the Bible and you will be fine.

That is not what the Bible is all about... No "denomination" can claim that... Only the Nation of Israel can claim any special Place. They are God's chosen people

But you will find The True Church of The Christian Faith mentioned in: Ephesians 1:19-23 (KJV)

There is but one Church indicated in Holy Scripture: The One, Holy, Roman, Apostolic Catholic Church. This is the church Christ established, while on earth. St. Peter was the first pope and the apostles, the first bishops.
I realize that it is almost unrecognizable as such, in this modern day, but Christ assured us "... the gates of hell shall not prevail against it..."--in spite of human involvement. The true religion can still be found, in traditional Roman Catholic teachings.

Jesus established the Church which is known, in the present day, as the Catholic Church(not just the Roman Catholic Church, there are other rites).

Don't you know? Religion and Denominations are man-made!
Only Jesus is the Way to God! John 14:6

No really, but we are the church that knew they was living the way God intended us to but we are so wrong cause we haven't even learned how to truly love one another.

My Church was founded upon Jesus's teachings and was built upon Peter.

Matthew 16:17-19
And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." Scripture reveals this Church to be the one Jesus Christ built upon the rock of Saint Peter (Matt. 16:18). By giving Peter the keys of authority (Matt. 16:19), Jesus appointed Peter as the chief steward over His earthly kingdom (cf. Isaiah. 22:19-22). Jesus also charged Peter to be the source of strength for the rest of the apostles (Luke 22:32) and the earthly shepherd of Jesus' flock (John 21:15-17). Jesus further gave Peter, and the apostles and elders in union with him, the power to bind and loose in heaven what they bound and loosed on earth. (Matt. 16:19; 18:18). This teaching authority did not die with Peter and the apostles, but was transferred to future bishops through the laying on of hands (e.g., Acts 1:20; 6:6; 13:3; 8:18; 9:17; 1 Tim. 4:14; 5:22; 2 Tim. 1:6).

The sacraments of my Church are all found in the bible.
Baptism: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/baptism.html
Confession: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/confession.html
The Eucharist: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/the_eucharist.html
Confirmation: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/confirmation.html
Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/divorce_remarriage.html
The Priesthood: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/the_priesthood.html
Anointing of the sick: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/anointing_of_the_sick.html
The Virgin Mary: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/blessed_virgin_mary.html
The Saints: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/saints.html
Salvation: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/salvation.html
Good works and not Faith alone: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/justification.html
Purgatory: http://www.scripturecatholic.com/purgatory.html

The list goes on Friend. We have Mass and pray in the words that Jesus instructed us too (the Lords prayer Matthew 6:9-13) and have the Eucharist as Jesus instructed us to. The Organization, as stated earlier, was set up by Jesus and the Apostle's.

Yes, in the Book of Acts, we are called the Body of Christ.
