What Is God's Provision for Sincere Believers Found in the Denominations?
1) Direct Answer
God’s provision is mercy through the Blood of Jesus, and a living call by the Holy Spirit to lead His own out of man-made creeds to the full Word for this hour. He covers what was done in ignorance, then He speaks, “Come out of her, My people,” and seals all who hear and follow with the Holy Spirit. Those who obey that call are gathered into the Bride; those who remain under creeds will not be in the Bride nor reign with Christ in the Millennium.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- God does not save by membership or tradition. The Bible says creeds can make the Word of God of none effect (Mark 7:7–13), and shows Jesus outside the last-day church systems knocking to be let in (Revelation 3:20).
- God’s answer is a call: “Come out of her, My people” (Revelation 18:4); “Come out from among them, and be ye separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17). We are to go “without the camp” unto Him (Hebrews 13:12–13).
- He winks at ignorance but now commands all men everywhere to repent when light comes (Acts 17:30). We are sanctified by the truth; God’s Word is truth (John 17:17).
- His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27). When they hear the Word of truth, they are sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13).
- Only those who walk in the light have fellowship and cleansing (1 John 1:7). The wise virgins take oil and go in; the foolish, though “virgins,” are shut out (Matthew 25:1–13).
- The Bride is a called-out multitude from all nations, washed in the Blood and serving before His throne (Revelation 7:9–17), and she reigns with Christ a thousand years (Revelation 20:4).
- Others, the “sheep,” are shown to inherit life but do not enter the Millennium; they appear at the White Throne (Matthew 25:31–34).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- If denomination itself were God’s safety, why would Scripture command, “Come out of her, My people”? You see, God’s safety is not a system—it is Christ the Word.
- God first covers by the Blood; then He leads by the Spirit. When truth is revealed, faith follows the Light. That obedience identifies the Bride.
- Sincerity without the full Word leaves a person like the foolish virgins—virgins, but without oil for the midnight hour. Saved, yes; Bride, no.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, God has not left His sincere ones trapped. The Blood covers; the Spirit calls; the Word separates. Hear His voice, follow Him out, and take your place with the Bride who will reign with Him.

God's provided way of approach to fellowship
60-0709 §30
And did you notice? As soon as man falls ... finds that he is fallen and he is a sinner by nature, he tries to make himself a way to approach God, make hisself a religion. "Well, I don't do no man no harm. And I feel I'm just about as good as the other man; I keep the Golden Rule." That wasn't God's program. In order to restore fellowship again, God made a provision right there in the garden. If there would've been any other provision better, God would've made it. But God made the only provision and the only basis...

Notice, in here He said: ... seven days shall you eat this unleavened bread ... Now, bread is typed. Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word." Not just a word here and there, as denominations would have you believe it. But the Word of God is perfect! It's God Himself in letter form, called a "seed." And the right kind of unadulterated faith in that Word will bring that seed to its life. That's exactly what you see at night in the discernments, and all these other things, because it's a pro...

Now, the law served its purpose. It was all right in its day. The law did all right, and it served its purpose. So has the denominations done all right. It's all right with its purpose. But remember, the law never took them to the promised land. Joshua took them over. Grace; not the law. And neither will the denomination, any denomination ever take the church of God over. It'll be the grace of God that's shed abroad in our hearts by the baptism of the Holy Ghost that'll take us to the promised land, into the fullne...

Then if there's only one place that God meets man, we had better be very careful. Now let's lay aside our traditions this morning, in this Sunday-school lesson, and be very sure that we find that one place. Because God has said here He will not receive you in any other place. Any other church He won't receive you in, only in His church, the only place He will receive you. Now, "What'd you say, Brother Branham? If I'm sincere?" No. Remember, Jesus talked to some sincere people, the worshipers for His day, and He sai...
Does God ever change His mind about His Word?

The denominations is prospering to who wouldn't have it. They spread their tents, the great, fine churches and everything throughout the land---the rich, and money poured in and members from everywhere. Didn't the Bible say there was found in her even riches of the world, and even souls of men, and everything that was found in this old harlot, which is the mother of the whole thing, politics and organization?
