How can Jehovah’s visible organization in our day be identified?
(1) It truly exalts Jehovah as the only true God, magnifying his name.—Matt. 4:10; John 17:3.
(2) It fully recognizes the vital role of Jesus Christ in Jehovah’s purpose—as the vindicator of Jehovah’s sovereignty, the Chief Agent of life, the head of the Christian congregation, the ruling Messianic King.—Rev. 19:11-13; 12:10; Acts 5:31; Eph. 1:22, 23.
(3) It adheres closely to God’s inspired Word, basing all its teachings and standards of conduct on the Bible.—2 Tim. 3:16, 17.
(4) It keeps separate from the world.—Jas. 1:27; 4:4.
(5) It maintains a high level of moral cleanness among its members, because Jehovah himself is holy.—1 Pet. 1:15, 16; 1 Cor. 5:9-13.
(6) It devotes its principal efforts to doing the work that the Bible foretold for our day, namely, the preaching of the good news of God’s Kingdom in all the world for a witness.—Matt. 24:14.
(7) Despite human imperfections, its members cultivate and produce the fruits of God’s spirit—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control—doing so to such a degree that it sets them apart from the world in general.—Gal. 5:22, 23; John 13:35.

You will recognize the true religion by its fruits. Matthew 7: 15-19. True worshippers are no part of the world, are not divided by race or culture and they would have love among themselves (John 13:35 and John 17:16). All true worshippers would be united in the same line of thought (1 Corinthians 1:10). Instead of teaching traditions or doctrines of men, the true religion bases its doctrine on the God's Word the Bible. (Matthew 15:6-9). The Bible is God's inspired Word because, "all scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight." (1 Timothy 3:16) Also, those taking the lead would have high moral standards. Isaiah 43:10 tells us, "You are my witnesses is the utterance of Jehovah, even my servant whom I have chosen." The international brotherhood of Jehovah's Witnesses not only bear the name of the true God, but they are living up to their name by helping others to live by the Bible's standards in more than 235 countries.

The Church or the Body of Christ should be identified: "By living holy and godly lives, looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along; while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to live peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in the sight of God." 2 Peter 3

A foundation of apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. Having priests, teachers, deacons, Bishops, seventies, elders, evangelists, etc. Teaching faith, repentance, baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. It will have the saving ordinances of the priesthood authority.

yes--Romans 13-11--and do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now that when we first believed--

Well, God has a name. Seeing as "God", "LORD", and "Allah" are all titles, simply look for an organisation that has His name and you will find the truth.
