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 §33
Now, even in our denominations, as good as they are, and as well as we ought to reserve them and respect them, yet no denomination can save a person. No denomination can bring you into fellowship, unless you come by the blood. You've got to come, not by your creeds, but by the blood! And creeds and joining churches and denominations will never satisfy a hungry heart. There's only one thing that can quench the thirst of a thirsting heart; that's when he's cleansed by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy...

I've found so much of that in my time. Some people were really spirited, but had not the truth. To you that was at the breakfast this morning, the subject I spoke on, I'm sure you understand what I mean. All right, got truth, set in order, church with the Word, then let the Spirit come down with the Word, and then watch what takes place. It'll manifest every time. Now, the unbeliever coming in, first thing he did, he had to do it just like a... He come to this waters of separation first to be separated. Now, what d...

I've often said I found two classes of people. And being kind of tutored as a Baptist, makes me just a little Calvinist, so then ... not the extreme side. But I said, "I found two types of people. And one of them is the Pentecostal (or Full Gospel, it's called), and the other is the fundamentalist." Now, the fundamentalist positionally knows where he's placed in Christ Jesus, but he hasn't went deep enough to have faith with what he's got. And the Pentecostal has went far enough to get the born-again experience, an...

Martin Luther found it. He said, "The just shall live by faith." But what did he do? Built an organization under it. God isn't in organizations, so He just moved out. And when He did, left Luther with his organization. And then John Wesley saw it, and away he went: sanctification, second definite work of grace. And the first thing, he organized himself: made the Methodists. God just moved right on out. The Pentecostals saw it in the baptism of the Holy Ghost, but now you're organized so tight, God's just moving rig...

Denominations? To me, not hurting your feelings--I don't want to do that--but the Word is like a two-edged sword. It can't push without cutting, see, especially when it's cutting in darkness. Notice, denominations are like other stars. They shift with the turning of the world--that's right, every way the world goes. They let their women cut their hair, wear shorts, and everything else. It just shifts with Hollywood, and everything else. But, oh, brother, that still remains the truth! That unmovable Word of the livi...
