Christianity Today Test?
Question from Ask Uncle Noah.

"The Christianity we know today has evolved over time, meaning what we practice today is significantly different from Christianity practiced 2000 years ago. If Christianity has changed from God's original intent, are our actions blasphemous?"

I
The Bible is the Word of God "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (II Timothy 3:16,17)
Jesus is the Son of God! "They all asked, "Are you then the Son of God?" He replied, "You are right in saying I am." (Luke 22:70)
Jesus is the only savior! "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
There is only one church! "There is one body and one Spirit– just as you were called to one hope when you were called– " (Ephesians 4:4)
The church has no earthly headquarters. "Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.'" (John 18:36)
Jesus is the only head of the church! "And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy." (Colossians 1:18)
*Binding traditions of men* on believers is wrong!** "They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." (Mark 7:8)
All Christians are priests! "To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever!" (Revelation 1:8)
There is only one gospel! "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel- which is really no gospel at all." (Galatians 1:6)
Christians are to be united! "I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought." (I Corinthians 1:10)
Differences show who is accepted of God! "No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval." (I Corinthians 11:19)
Following men is wrong! "What I mean is this: One of you says, 'I follow Paul'; another, 'I follow Apollos'; another, 'I follow Cephas'; still another, 'I follow Christ.' Is Christ divided?" (I Corinthians 1:12,13a)
There are false teachers! "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" (Galatians 1:8)
A person is baptized into Jesus! "Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)
The Bible provides the pattern for sound teaching. "What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus." (II Timothy 1:13)

The Bible provides every spiritual need.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
(II Timothy 3:16)

If you checked all the boxes yes, you have the solid basis for New Testament Christianity.
If not, it would be good to study our section on the church.
