As far as I understand the Christian Church began from the moment Christ rose from the dead - when He sent His disciples to preach the gosple all over the world before Jesus ascended to heaven.

Our body is ths temple of the Holy Spirit - although the devil fights to make it his temple instead. 

When we sin  the devil takes possession of our body and this is reflected outwardly in depression, anxiety, ill temmperedness, swearing, grudges, murder, fornication etc.

When we invite the Holy Spirit to take possession of our body instead, we first remove the devil out of our body by not practicing what is  his as above.

When the Holy Spirit dwells inside our body, the opposite characteristics to the list above is manifested ourwardly in our personality - patience, slow to anger, tollerance, faithfullness to one partner in marriage, speak the truth, want to save souls, exude peace etc.
