Denominations don't save, Christ does.
John 16:13 Jesus said the Holy Spirit will guide you into all Truth.
And Jesus said "The truth will set you free"
But just as the disciples of Jesus had been given some bad ideas in the context of their Jewish church, so today tradition is everywhere.
Read 2 Thess 2:1-12 and tell me if you think knowing the truth matters at the end , according to Paul.
Read Matt 24:24 is Christ giving warning and then adding "I have told you in advance", so that we would not be deceived at the end.
Spot on brother! Well said.
Do not fear JohnB445, simply seek Christ. Read the shorter books in the New Testament first for faster clarity.
