the churchs all tell people that they can save them with their message. They all think they have the right answer? If you pick wrong are you lost? How do you know if you are one of the few? Can any of them give you a guarantee?

Yes, the first guy is right. Put your trust in Jesus the Christ, not in a church or a preacher or a denomination or any religion.

Another thinker, good on you :-).
This verse you are referring to means He wants everyone to find Him and worship Him in Spirit and in truth. But not everyone wants to come through the sheep gate, but another way.
Just look at Noah, only 8 were saved from the great flood. This was because they were made holy and righteous through the gospel message of Noah. No-one could just go into that Ark, but only the obedient ones. So like today, only those who obey His righteous message or the gospel of the water and the Spirit will be allowed into His kingdom of heaven. Not anyone can just come into His true Church.
Yes, I agree many churches think they are right, but you must ask deep questions like you are doing right now. Can all these churches who say these things make you sinless and righteous in front of God? If they did then we would not be in such a state we are in, therefore they all are preaching a false gospel, in fact they are factories manufacturing sinners, and......sinners will never be allowed into heaven....sad situation.
My friend I was one of them, but since have found the truth which by the way all of them reject.
I want you to read all about it with your Bible wide open and you will also come to the realisation that this gospel of the water and the Spirit (John 3:5) is the original one given to us by God and not the one been propagated today.

The guarantee of salvation is not from the church but from the Creator. The message is also from the Creator, although churches tend to twist it one way or the other. God loses no one. Churches often do.

That's the point. The message doesn't make sense... Why believe in it, I wonder... I still believe in spirituality and like churches-as testimonies of the past but nowadays they don't make much sense do they? There must be something else.
