The right church for every true believer/follower of Jesus is a "local church" with a Godly, Christlike Leader(s).

Suffice to say, though, that I personally do not believe in the common "denominational church" pattern/system, because what is in the New testament of the Bible are Local Churches planted by the Apostles, Not Denominations (i.e Paul planted independent Local Churches; also the letters in the book of Revelation were also addressed to Elders of independent local churches NOT to a G.O or Bishop of a Denomination). However, I strongly believe that I am ONE with every TRUE believer IN Or OUT of every Christian denomination or local church in the World.

To know whether a Church is SAFE to worship, we've got to check out the Leaders first, to see if they are Christlike (especially in terms of Humility, Money and Popularity with the World, etc). For instance, if it's a denomination, of course, the FIRST person to check out would be the Founder/Head Pastor, etc (because all the members are looking up to him as the right example of Christ). Then to be followed by the Elders/leaders of the local church we are.

If the Leader(s) are good examples of Christ in terms of their LIFESTYLE, NOT just in Words: Bible Knowledge/Doctrine, then we can be sure it's right, even though there might be some Judas(es) and Demas(es) among the members (to deal with them wisely, and not become like them).

Alas, over Five years ago, I had to step away from the local church I used to attend (a district/branch of a Big/Popular Church), NOT because I was HOLIER than them, but in Jesus Name, I couldn't agree with Leader(s) in MAJOR areas I've mentioned above: with the HEAD first, then local Elders too.

We become the examples of whomever we follow, and will END UP in the same place:

Matthew 15:14 KJV
Let them alone: they be BLIND LEADERS of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, BOTH shall fall into the ditch. (Hell)

It's true we shouldn't "forsake the gathering of our brethren", but it also says we should COME OUT OR TURN AWAY from some certain type of people:

2 Thessalonians 3:6 KJV
Now we COMMAND YOU, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye WITHDRAW YOURSELVES from Every Brother (maybe a Pastor/Prophet) that walketh DISORDERLY, and NOT after the tradition which he received of us.

2 Corinthians 6:17 KJV
Wherefore COME OUT from among them, and be ye SEPARATE, saith the Lord, and TOUCH NOT the Unclean thing ; and I will RECEIVE you,

So, we've got to be balanced to be Saved.

It's good for us to Study the Scriptures, Pray and ask God for LIGHT so as to ESCAPE the END TIME Deception that is Powerful or Strong enough to GET even the ELECT, if possible. (Matt. 24:24)

Phil.3.18 - For MANY, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even WITH TEARS, walk as ENEMIES of the Cross of Christ.

Phil.3.19 - Their END IS DESTRUCTION, their god is their BELLY, and they glory in their shame, with MINDS SET ON EARTHLY THINGS.

Therefore, we've got to be on the ALERT: seeking God for Grace in Jesus to endure All things:

2 Timothy 3:1-2,5 KJV
This know also, that in The Last Days PERILOUS TIMES SHALL COME.

[2] For MEN shall be LOVERS of their OWN Selves, ...

[5] Having a FORM OF GODLINESS, but denying the Power thereof: from such TURN AWAY.

May Jesus Bless You.

Acts 20:29 KJV
For I know this, that after my departing shall GRIEVOUS WOLVES enter in among you, NOT SPARING the flock.

Praise be to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ that the veil of Moses has been removed from your face.
2Cor 3v15

Many are worshipping Angelsl, Moses and the Prophets, while some are worshipping the god of this world.

Some, including their Leaders are aware, while majority are unaware of this fact.

Any Church where Christ is not revealed to her members is not fit to be called the church of the First begotten from the dead.

We will not stop revealing Christ to this generation until the veil on their mind is fallen.

We are in Christ, a new creature!!

1 Timothy 3:2-4,6 KJV
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

[3] Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

[4] One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

[6] Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

1 Corinthians 10:6,15 KJV
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

[15] I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
