All who come to God in The Way He prescribes receive His free gift of Salvation. Those become part of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head. Those are the ones of The True Christian Faith. Only those of The Church will enter Heaven..... Those of The True Christian Faith are led by God not The Bible... only those open to the leading of God, through The Holy Spirit, will find, in The Bible, What God has for them there.
God is not concerned with man invented"denominations" or sects... it will not matter one bit what "denomination" one is a part of when it come time to answer for ones life... Only those of The Church will stand before God to receive the rewards they have earned in Life before entering Heaven..... those not of The Church will be eternaly seperated from God.

I'd like to say my own (non-denominational Christian) but the Seventh Day Adventists do the right thing when they worship on Saturday. It's bothered me for a few years now that most churches worship on Sunday; I just don't want to leave my church because I love my pastors and the congregation. I'm not willing to switch to Seventh Day Adventism for that reason.

I am aware of none.
Most Christian churches actually focus as much or more on Paul's teachings than those of Jesus.
Jesus was Jewish and seemed focused on a revolution of the Jewish culture within itself, while maintaining Mosaic laws. One of the main messages of Jesus was that people were all children of God, including the poor, the unclean, women, lepers, tax collectors, everyone. He taught that eating or associating with those "uncleans" was okay, otherwise how could they ever be converted. He taught that giving to the poor was vital.
Most Christian churches today focus on "giving your life to Jesus", and "believing we are forgiven", or "believing in the Resurrection". Those were important messages for spreading the word OF the new religious movement in centuries following his death. However, because of the focus of spreading the religion, Christianity has become focused ON Jesus, rather than on what Jesus taught.
I doubt Jesus would recognize the religion named for him.

I believe that Pentacostal church cos through this church i came to know the TRUTH . Here my short story
I am a medical student here in New York and also a Ex Muslim from Abu Dhabi (UAE citizen). Recently in a very unexpected situation i decided to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. During my several visits to a Pentecostal church ,( I do’t find any idols or photos there other than bible verses stick on the walls ) am personally experienced the power of holy spirit and talking in tongues. In my heart i prayed to God, if this is true and real, filled with me. The pastor laid his hand on me and prayed for me. All of a sudden I experienced the power of holy spirit, came upon me and a great happiness filled in my heart.
My friend told me about holy spirit from the bible that this is what Jesus Christ promised before he raised to heaven , about a “COMFORTER” to send to this world to lead the believers in the right path. I found Jesus as my Lord, savior, my close friend in need . Encourage you to taste His love & compassion which is missing in ISLAM.

The Catholic Church is based on Scripture and Tradition. Its 100% of both.
From the Catechism -
80 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, then, are bound closely together, and communicate one with the other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, come together in some fashion to form one thing, and move towards the same goal." Each of them makes present and fruitful in the Church the mystery of Christ, who promised to remain with his own "always, to the close of the age".
97 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture make up a single sacred deposit of the Word of God" (DV 10) in which, as in a mirror, the pilgrim Church contemplates God, the source of all her riches.

Open your Bible. Everything's right there waiting for you to check it out; but of course with the guidance of the Holy Spirit so you could understand the deeper meaning of the commands, laws and truths written there. Through reading and studying His Words, you're getting closer and closer to answering your questions. Hope that helps. Alright? :)

There are none if you mean church in the modern vernacular.The church is a body of Believers gathered together to study and do spiritual warfare through prayer.

None of them. Christ's messages have been twisted and warped beyond recognition by greedy power hungry men.
But I would say the TRUE chruchs are the ones who are honestly trying to make the world a better place, because that was Jesus's main message.

The Church of Christ teaches that we should speak where the Bible speaks, be silent where the Bible is silent, do Bible things in Bible ways and call Bible things by Bible names!
"And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (Col. 3:17) "In the name of the Lord" means by his authority or according to His instructions.
"I could not go beyond the word of the Lord my God to do less or more". (Numbers 22:18)

Revelation 12:17 talks about a remnant of believers who keep God's commandments and have the testimony of Jesus.
