The apostles all served ONE God (1 Corinthians 8:5+6)(Romans 15:5+6)(Ephesians 1:3) and ONE Lord (Ephesians 4:5+6)(John 17:20, 21) and followed ONE source of truth, the Holy Scriptures (1 Thessalonians 2:13)(Colossians 1:10)(John 17:17), based on ONE unifying love for God and mankind (John 13:34+35; 15:12+13)(Galatians 6:10; Matthew 22:36-40; Romans 13:8-10).

They all met together regularly (Acts 2:1)(Ac 11:26)(Acts 2:26), prayed together regularly (Acts 1:14), and made sure their own lives and teachings harmonized with the scriptures (Galatians 5:19-21; 1Corinthinthians 6:9-11; Ephesians 4:17-24; Colossians 3:5-10;Galatians 5:22+23; Colossians 3:12-14), disciplining and correcting each other, according to scripture, when needed(James 2:1-9)(Galatians 2:11-14), and actively involved themselves in 'ONE work', the public preaching and teaching instituted by Christ (Matthew 28:19+20/Matthew 24:14/Matthew 10:7, Luke 9:2, 2 Timothy 4:1-5/Acts 5:42/Acts 20:20). They all had ONE goal, the DOING of God's will(James 2:17+26), through pure teachings, building up united congregations (Hebrews 10:24+25)(1 Corinthians 1:10)(Philippians 1:27)(1Corinthians 12:28)(Acts 2:38; 3:19) all over the world (Acts 1:8), (Acts 13:1), (2Corinthians 1:1),(Romans 16:5; Philemon 2). After the Christian congregation was created, the apostles became part of ONE central body, that would unitedly give scriptural direction and council when issues arose (Acts 15:1+2, 22-30)(Acts 16:4+5).
