The Apostles are practicing the pure & undefiled religion in the Church of God, James 1:27 —
Pure religion and' undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
According to II Corinthians 1:1 —
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy [our] brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints

There are some who would maintain that the Apostles of Christ abandoned keeping the seventh day Saturday Sabbath, and instituted in its place Sunday, the first day of the week, dedicated to the celebration of the resurrection. Note the following quote, which makes this claim:
The Old Law was but an image or foreshadowing of the Light and Truth that was to come. When the Light came in the personality of Jesus, the old Mosaic law having fulfilled its function of preparing the Jews for the coming of the Messiah was abrogated as regards its ceremonial prescriptions in favor of the new dispensation or law of Christ.
To signalize this transition from the old to the new law, the Apostles transferred the observance to the Sunday, the first day of the week. Sunday was chosen because on that day was wrought the greatest miracle of the Christian religion, the resurrection of Christ from the dead. It was on Sunday also that the Holy Ghost descended upon the Apostles and sent them out to preach the Gospel to the world. Sunday is, therefore, the birthday of the Christian Church.

Jesus himself was a practicing Jew. Jesus was a Hebrew teacher and rabi. The apostles(all Jewish men) observed traditional Jewish religious customs. The gentiles, as a group did not get involved in Christianity until after the death of our Lord. So they were under the Mosiac law that God gave the nation of Israel as a guide to true worship.

I think it was a lot like the Apostles have in our dispensation, now that the true Gosple has been restored through Joseph Smith.

The RESURRECTION OF Jesus was the birth of Christianity. Even before His death- with His arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane- the little flock He had gathered about Him to spread His teaching had scattered in panic.
Unless we realize in all it's truth this desertion of Jesus, and the panic and despair of His disciples, we shall not be able to feel the chief proof of His resurrection. That proof is the birth of Christianity. Christianity could not have been born in the shadow of the Cross unless Jesus had triumphed over death.

the Apostles were originally Jews who after much prayerfull thought and meditation after listening to Jesus decided to abandon that way of life and follow Jesus and his teaching and to teach others what the bible had to say and help them apply it in their lives so you could say that they are now Christians you can find that out by reading any of the gospels and the rest of the Bible

The apostles were Jews, unless you consider Peter who traditionally was the first Pope. Although it is debatable whether a fisherman could have written Peter I.

The Catholic faith of course. Before there were a lot of dissidents who left the faith and formed their own religions.
