Anyone who clings to an organization, or its teachings, as the means of salvation, will be disappointed in the end. The Truth is revealed only to those who are open to it. God never forces Himself on anyone. But He also never stops knocking at the door of your hearts.

If someone believes they have information that goes above and beyond the revealed Word of God, it is nearly impossible to reach them with the truth. This goes for any group or person. Every cult and manmade religion is built on either total disregard for the Bible, or on special and contradictory interpretations of the Bible, or on adding to the revealed Word of God, thus exchanging the Truth for a lie.

All of this was a forerunner to the reality of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice on the cross He would provide that would remove mans sins, once and for all.

Christianity does not allow for just anyone or any group to claim themselves to be Christian. There are some' guidelines.
