I read your question at work, what happen to it? I am familiar with Capital Street. I visit Hanging Moss or Parkview, whenever I am in Jackson. I have not visited the church in Coldwater.
Your understanding of Acts 2:47 is correct according to theology. But, not according to the ?worlds? definition or understanding. One of the most important words in the paragraph is ?Lord added to the Church? added is an imperfect active indicative. Which means that is a statement of fact the Lord added and continues to add the church. ?The church? implies at that particular time there was only one church. If there was more than one ?church? then Luke would heave used the word or words ?a church?
Slavery ? that?s a good way of explaining it. I attempt to explain what a how people practice Christianity the same way. I think most A A have forgotten or never understood the conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8. The Eunuch had been to Jerusalem to worship {with the Jews}. He was then met and taught by Phillip, baptized and return to Ethiopia. Ethiopia was the first country in Africa to practice New Testament Christianity. {The home of our fore fathers} Europe was not exposed to Christianity, until Paul?s Missionary Journeys, several years later. We {Africans} were not exposed to denomination until slavery ? coming to America.
If you have an opportunity compare Christianity in Ethiopia with that in Europe - America.
