There are many churchs out there and each one has different practices. Which one of them is the true one? Or the closest from the real truth.

THE CHURCH ESTABLISHED ON EARTH BY JESUS CHRIST IN THE BEGINNING.
It makes Jesus sad to see how many denominations (or, historically speaking, divisions) there're and how they fight against each other. You'll be saved if you truly believe in God and accept Jesus Christ to be your saviour, no matter which denomination (Protestant, Anglican, Catholic, Orthodox, etc) you belong to. By the way there can be a great diversity of beliefs in one single denomination.

It depends on your personal view of history. To me, the closest thing to real Christianity is the Church that lines up best with the original form of Christianity. In order, that would be:
Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Mennonite/Reformed, Presbyterian, Methodist, Churches of Christ, Evangelicals, Baptists, Non-Denominational (i.e. Calvary Chapel), Christian Churches (Cambelite), Pentecostals, Charismatics, Seventh-Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons.

I don't think that there is any one true church or religion, because after you have stripped away the fanaticism and the hundreds of years of human interpretation / misinterpretation, each of the churches and religions basically teach the same thing.

The church, which gathers people who learn the divine truth and do the Will of the One True God, is true church. Nowadays mankind can made considerations based on the criteria set in the Holy Books.

None...go to a park where there are trees and birds and nature all around. That is the only true church. The rest are mind control institutions. Think for yourself and enjoy the view from outside.

The true church, are the people who follow Yahoshua (Jesus). In scripture you will never find a building being called a church. The believers are the Church. Dealing with this matter Isaiah the prophet spoke on this wise
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
If they are telling you that you don't have to obey the Law of Yah, they have no light.
Most believe the testimony of Messiah, so I don't think I need to go there. Yet Messiah says,
Mat 13:52 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
If they don't obey both testaments, there is no light in them.
Deu 30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Deu 30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
You can chose to follow any number of these denominations who don't follow Messiah themselves. Or you can obey what the scriptures have to say. That is the difference between the true and the false. The true obey all things that are pleasing to the Father of heaven and earth, while the other, makes theologies and traditions that excuse them from obeying all that Yahuweh commanded.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Mat 15:4-8 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
The choice is yours, serve with lip service or with your life.

If you really do a bible study on the church you will find the church isnt even a building, but our bodys. we are the church because jesus lives inside of us not inside of a building. church services are times to come and fellowship and worship with our brothers and sisters in christ. but the best "church" to choose from is a good bible based church, no matter if it is pinnecostal, baptist, methodist, or whatever(although i perfer a non-denominational church myself)
