I do not know if this is the type answer you are looking for but the most triumphant and doctrinally sound churches in that time are those to whom Paul wrote the shortest letters.

In Acts 17:10-12 Luke wrote concerning the believers in Berea of Macedonia.
v. 10 "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews."

v.11 "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."

v. 12 "Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few."

(Notice, no correction, no admonition, just admiration and praise.)

Read Revelation 3:7-13.
