Perhaps the following statements by Paul, at the end of his life, could explain this
2 Timothy 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2 Timothy 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
At the end of his life, Paul's distinctive gospel (Romans 16:25) has been abandoned in favor of the gospel that was preached in the 4 gospels and early Acts, including by those Galatians he was addressing in Galatians 3 (2 Timothy 1:15).
So all the church was apostate including the church fathers who God used to cannonize the Bible, until Darby came along. How preposterous.
These modern cultic philosophies undermine the Bible and people just don't even think. God never used pagans to establish scripture, and the church never disappeared from the earth, leaving pagans to canonize the Bible and establish the scriptures so that one day a second savior could come along and open the books and say eureka, I have discovered the gospel and re-established the church. These ideas are utter rubbish from debased men influenced of Satan to discredit the Bible which all we have of the scriptures.
This is what comes of not knowing church history. Not understanding the actual consequences of these imaginings of debased men.
Revivalism has truly been the most destructive ideology to ever infiltrate Christendom.
The Anglicans saw John Darby as heterodox and booted him out, but American revivalists latched on to his teachings because they had no grasp of actual history or the church founders, no scholatics only pietistic emotionalism. And all manner of nonsense them spread.
