How do you know the Gospel of John came 50 or 60 years after the church was formed? And what difference does that make?
You have the kind of Christianity that doesn't recognize the divinity of Christ.

Concerning Acts/Stephen, I would say you are connecting dots that aren’t there- best Go back and reread that and notice that God is God, and Stephen sees Jesus at the “right hand of”.
John- look it up. But also ask yourself ¿where is the history of John preaching the gospel and raising up churches? And why does Luke- who writes about the history of what was believed not include the things “John” writes? We see John and Peter in the beginning of Acts and they definitely are not preaching Jesus as God! So why conclude that John had some kind of change in theology. Where is the history of the evolution of John’s thinking?
I think my Christianity is an attempt to match what the foundational church believed.
And, what do you mean by “ the divinity of Christ”?
