Jesus mentions 'the church' 18 times in the New Testament.

Jesus could not have had a new testament because it was not written until many years after his death. The first New Testament was written about five to fifteen years after he had died, and risen, and gone to heaven.

The biggest difference is in the Old Testament any christian was a christian because they new Jesus was coming and was going to die on the cross, in the New Testament they got to be with Jesus, they saw Him and most beleived. In the new testament till now we believe that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and that through Him we can go to heaven. So the main thing is people believed that Jesus died for their sins and for the Old Testament they believed He was coming.

It is not the church you belong to that determines if you go to heaven or not. What determines if you go to heaven is that you believe what God has said about His Son Jesus Christ and have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior. The best place to find what God has said about His Son, Jesus is in the four Gospels in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. In short, Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary for your sin, He was buried and was resurrected the third day. All who believe in Him will be saved. Not just a head belief, but a heart belief.
Jesus rose three days later!
