God, in the form of the Son, founded His Church through His servant, Peter. "Upon this Rock will I build my Church."
All other churches are pretenders to the throne.

I base my belief on what God has told us how to be and live for His pleasure as it is written in the Bible.
I do not follow a church or denominational teachings.
I do what Jesus told Paul ( apostle to the Gentiles ), That is the truth, not church tradition.
I have found very few churches that teach the Truth anymore, most just teach their version of the truth...regardless.

My Church is not the true (only) church -- only the believers that form the body of Christ are part of the church (small "c"). All Churches (large "C") are human-made.

The church of Jesus Christ is His body
24Now I rejoice in what was suffered for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ's afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. 25I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness—
17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
We use the word

The Pope would have your hide for calling us brothers.
We look at Christians first being identified by that name as early as about 42 C.E. (Acts 11:26 @ Antioch) The Roman Catholic Church ( I assume you are a Roman Catholic) did not become the R.C. Church until after the East -West Schism after 1000 C.E. The church split back then, with the Roman Catholic Church evolving our of the Latin and Greek factions of a once unified church.
Martin Luther gave us back our roots.
The Holy See took you folks elsewhere.

What I say is irrelevant. It's what God says that matters. The ONLY "true church" is the group comprised of individual true believers, regardless of what denomination they're wrapped up in at the time.

they should ask, who started my church? if it is a man, it is a man made church, therefore , it cannot be the true one, for Jesus told us in the bible , he would build 'His Church", he has to be the historical founder. look in encyclopedia under founders of the christian churches.

Anyone who believes that Christ is their saviour is the church of Christ. He lives within every person who believes in him. Actually he is in everyone else too, they just haven't accepted him yet.
