Jesus wasn't Christian at all! He was JEWISH!
After Jesus was crucified there were many different Christian sects, in fact Christianity was more diverse than it is today! Different sects disagreed on whether Jesus was a god or a man or both. 'Both' won out eventually and nearly all Christians today believe that, but in those days people believed all kinds of things. Some believed in -many- Gods. Some believed that the God of the Old Testament and the God who was Jesus' dad were two different Gods. Some early Christians were Jewish, some were anti-Jewish. Before the New Testament was canonized, 400 years after Jesus' life, there was no 'official' version of Christianity.
Paul really had more to do with defining Christianity as a separate religion than Jesus did. Paul never actually knew Jesus but he and his followers were very successful in traveling around and building churches and starting congregations, so his ideas about Jesus won out. This was long after Jesus lived.

Christianity means Christ like. Your question should have been which christian sect follows the true teachings of Jesus.

Jesus didn't belong to a sect of any kind of religion. He came to bring the Truth to all people of what God has called us to do, repent and believe on the name of Jesus that you may be saved.
Christianity is the way of God and Christians are to obey and follow after the LORD our God who gave Himself as a sacrifice for all our sins. Christianity began with Christ.

NONE...
There were NO CHRISTIANS DURING JESUS' LIFETIME.
Mt 11:11 “What I’m about to tell you is true. No one more important than John the Baptist has ever been born. But the least important person in the KINGDOM of heaven is more important than he is.
Mk 9:1 Jesus said to them, “What I’m about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see God’s KINGDOM coming with power.”
... The prophecy of Mark 9:1 was fulfilled on Pentecost after Jesus' resurrection. That is when the church, the earthly manifestation of the KINGDOM came into being. Acts 2 tells us about this event.

I don't think he was of any Christian sect. I believe he was part of the Jewish sect the Essences.
If you're asking hypothetically then I would say he was probably of the Eastern Catholic Church (not the Roman Catholic) or Coptic.

The Catholic/Orthodox Church. Jesus chose Apostles to lead his Church. The successors to these original Apostles are the legitimate Church. All other pretenders are merely sects.

That's a strange questions. If Christ was the beginning of Christianity, how could he have been any denomination? All Christianity is based on Christ. Christ himself was a Jew.
