What does this question mean? It is based upon four key words: The [Holy] Bible, Teach, Church and Structure.

THE HOLY BIBLE is set apart from all other books and words recorded by Man. Holy Men, those ALHYM set aside, recorded His words as our manual of instructions for living life on earth in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek.
TEACH. Christ taught His disciples who taught the disciples of Christ after the out pouring of the Holy Spirit onto and into the disciples on SHAVUOT, Pentecost 30 C.E. Christ’s words are recorded very accurately in Greek in the New Covenant by the Yehudi (Jewish) disciples for the benefit of all disciples of Christ down through the ages.
CHURCH. This English word is not the original Greek word EKKLESIA mentioned by Christ only 3 times (MT 16:18; 18:17) and the Holy Spirit 108 times (from Ac 2:47 Greek and throughout the New Covenant). The definition of Church is much different from that of EKKLESIA . The short definition of EKKLESIA is “the called out ones” The full definition is “The ones who are called out of their assembly by ALHYM” based upon the 3 composite Greek words “Ek” , out of, “Kaleo” to call and “Klesia”, assembly. So the first EKKLESIA members were the Yehudi who were called out of their Great Temple in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) into the glorified body of Christ as described in Acts Chapter 2. The EKKLESIA has no precedents, and to the best of my knowledge, no church even looks or feels like an Ekklesia.
STRUCTURE. This refers to an organisational method. For the Church system this is a hierarchical model with Christ as the Head, mediators (Vicars or Priests), and laity, and which is based upon a building(s). The landscapes of the world are covered and dominated by Church buildings (Cathedrals, Abbeys, Chapels, etc.).

The church system grew out of the actions of men who were anti-Christ, the Yehudi who were dedicated to subvert and destroy the Ekklesia, then with the help of pagans like Rome (Rev 2:9;3:9).
In comparison, The EKKLESIA was not organised like this. Christ was and is its glorified Head, and His glorified body is comprised of disciples who are glorified (who have repented of their sins, been baptised (immersed) in the name of iEsou christou (Mt 1:12 Grk) in water, and baptised (immersed) in the Holy Spirit (as in Ac 2), and are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit in fire (1 Pe 1:7) i.e. being made holy like ALHYM, Christ, and the Holy Spirit (1 Pe1:15-16; Mat 3:11).

There was only one Ekklesia in each town, city, or rural area with older, mature in Christ, married Men, each with one wife and children, who had spiritual giftings and were holy role models for every household (oikos). The Ekklesia was and is based upon the oikos (houses, households) of disciples of Christ. Some Men in plural leadership or governance were apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds (not pastors), and teachers, who were responsible “for the equipping of the saints (glorified, agaping, obedient disciples of Christ) for the work of the service, to the building up (edifying) of the body of Christ; until we all attain (come to) the unity of the faith (in Christ) and of the knowledge (experiential) of the Son of ALHYM to a perfect man, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature (fullness) of Christ; (as a result) that we are no longer to be children tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love (agape), may grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head even CHRIST, from whom the whole body being and held together (joined and knit together) by that which every joint supplies, according to the proper (effective) working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up (edifying) of itself in love (agape). ” (Ep 4:11-16 NAS and NKJV).

The apostles and the EKKLESIAS were led and controlled by the Holy Spirit.
