God judges the individual's heart. That being said, likewise we should remember "birds of a feather flock together"; that is why there are factions:

For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you. - 1 Corinthians 11:19 nasb.

God only Judges all as individual. We are responsible for our own sins, and will stand before God as he opens the Book of Life.

God does have an earthly organisation.
It is the one being totally obedient.
Test every religion against a few basic scriptures. Are they complying.
1. do they use God's NAME;
(John 17:6) “I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word.

(Exodus 6:3) And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.

Or do they NOT use His name in the mistaken belief it is too Holy. And despite what Jesus said.

Do they obey this;
(Matthew 28:19-20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”

Or do they leave this entirely up to a small management group.

Do they restrict women from telling about Jesus?
(Psalm 68:11) Jehovah himself gives the saying; The women telling the good news are a large army.

Do they allow women to TEACH FROM THE PULPIT...TEACHING MEN.

(1 Timothy 2:11-15) Let a woman learn in silence with full submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression. 15 However, she will be kept safe through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and sanctification along with soundness of mind.

Is Jesus used as an example as to WHAT to preach.?
(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

Do long held traditions override healthful treaching?

Are concepts wrongly taught, the name of such not even appearing in the Bible.?

Search for this organisation that fully complies. They are found in 235 lands throughout the world. They do not have divisions and they have love among themselves.

They do not use icons of any sort but stick strictly with the Bible. And they KNOW That Jesus is NOT God, but his loved SON..

Good question. I think there's good Biblical basis for both.
