As it turns out, there is a specific answer to the question raised in the opening post.
It turns out for about 4 months in 1973, the Bickertonites, a reconstitution of the Rigdonites (a defunct splinter group from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as it was prior to the split with the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints and the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) was, in fact, THE ONE TRUE CHURCH.
Unfortunately, after those GLORIOUS (PRAISE GOD!!) 4 months, they updated their hymnal, and consequently committed a grave, irredeemable, blasphemous and abominable heresy, and from then on, the Bickertonites and all other Christians (before and after) have all been deemed by God Almighty to be DAMNED. (And of course, the 2 thieves crucified with Jesus, and converted by him while all three were on their crosses are also in heaven too, because Jesus said so, but that's it, 4 human beings have made it to heaven and there won't be anymore, at least until the Bickertonites go back to their old non-blasphemous hymnal)
During the 4 months during which the Bickertonites were the ONE TRUE FAITH, they had 3 members pass on. 2 made it to HEAVEN, but an infant had been improperly baptized, and then died of pneumonia, and was judged to be DAMNED because of the defective baptism.
So, as far as the thread starter is concerned, there were some Christians who were correct, briefly, but their perfect church did not persist, and there is no possibility of Salvation anymore.
