RE: So, why doesn't Scripture uniquely endorse a specific denomination ?

So, a dissident in a religious organization uses Scripture to delineate where his denomination is straying from His Word, and in consideration of that, launches their own schism, ostensibly addressing the faults noted in justification of the schism and 'birthing' a perfected religion.
But then fails to indemnify his branch of Christendom from precisely the same errors that inspired him.
I suppose turn about is fair play, and what's good for the goose, etc., but after tens of thousands of schisms, might someone have perfected the 'art' of schismatism so as to preclude the same techniques they used to justify their split from being used against themselves ??
Lutherans seem bad at this, the Mormons even worse, in their scheme, in less than 2 centuries they've suffered over a hundred schisms of their own.
Why aren't they better at this ?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
