Why so many Denominations
Q: Why are there so many denominations? Does that mean theres one true church but everyone else outside of that "one" are in deception? Are there churches or a Church falsely claiming to be "the" Church, who are outside true Christianity? What should I know about Christianity and the Church?
A: You're likely not taking global issues and locations into account when asking this, probably hasn't crossed your mind, since you're thinking locally or from a mindset of your nation. You might also be thinking from the view of people in a very free society, [freedom of religion & worship, and freedom of speech, and liberty].
There IS one Church. The one visible (Earthly) and invisible (those now in Heaven) is the "Bride" of Christ, called the Church; it is comprised of all whom God has saved. It isn't a building nor a religion that claims to be "the" church; as today's false religions try to present themselves as (& even make such claims). The Church is of "all those for whom Christ died", (past, present, future believers whose names were written in "the Lamb's book of Life" - before the world was created). His Bride is the Church.
There is unity in this one true Church for they are truely those redeemed of Christ. They being born again, are united together in Christ. How? By the essential truths of Christianity as presented in Scripture which God revealed plainly, and is connected to the truths of the biblical Gospel.

So "denominations" do not matter, but what does is identifying who rightly is truly "Christian" [those who hold, professional & proclaim those truths]. It further identifies which groups are impostors [not of Christianity] thus not included within the Church; are not a Christian denomination. So those false groups, false religions (including apostate frauds) are easily identified, by that biblical test. Today far too many are unaware of this, and thus are prey to & decieved by those crafty decievers. This is why it is vital to know the Scriptures (well and deeply) so you arent led astray by their subtle doctrines of demons. If you can identify true Christianity, you can easily & will safely find the true churches [those within biblical denominations]. They hold to biblical orthodoxy and uphold biblical fidelity.
