Some 4000 years ago, a small group emerge from the world, calling themselves the chosen people of God. These Israelites were lower class families and were ridiculed for their belief in just one God. They repeatedly fell away from, than returned, to God, but ended up denying the fulfillment of the prophesies of the coming Messiah.
Some 2000 years ago, a small group emerged from the Jews to become the 2nd chosen people of God. They were mostly uneducated, lower class individuals, such as Peter, a failed fisherman, and Matthew, a hated tax collector. Their brethren ridiculed them for their belief that a lower class, uneducated ex-carpenter was the Messiah.
Eventually, they repeatedly moved away from God, though some returned, but finally fragmenting into hundreds of sects, each claiming they are the Way, but Christ said there would be many "claiming" to speak in his name, while the gateway to life was narrow and hard to pass.

So, being that 3 equals perfection, who is the 3rd group to emerge from the Christian to be considered God’s True followers? Christ showed it can’t be all or even most of Christians. So, which Christian religion is it? Christian no longer means one is a follower of the teachings of Christ, so what is the name of this new group? Or, do you think Christ was wrong and all Christians true followers?

3 is Divine Perfection and completeness, such as the Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit, generally known as "The Holy Trinity"...but to say that there is a 3rd group may not be so .
After Jesus resurrected and went back to the Heavenly Father, He said that He will come back again, and this time, He comes in glory, and also like a thief in the night, thus without warning.
From that day of His ascension to Heaven, His disciples and other followers began to spread this good news to all, and gave the advice to believe in Him as the only Son of God , and the only way to eternal life: We are to believe and confess with our mouth, and live the lives that is becoming of a believer and follower.
Jesus has also said that He will return to "claim His people" when the gospel has reached the 'four corners of the world', which we are seeing happening already, with missionaries and church groups going out to share this good news to the far corners of the previously untouched people groups.
Don't think we can call this people the 3rd group? Nah!

The LDS church claims to be restored by God himself. All truths and authorities from all other dispensations have been restored to a true living prophet, or so we believe. In this manner the gospel can be preached in its fullness before the 2nd comming of Christ.

I think you need to re read your Bible as some of that info is a little off; sort of a condensed version to fit this [ ]
