John 16:13 tells us that when he the spirit of truth is come, he will guide into all truth. IMHO this is why God pours his spirit out on "all flesh" to lead them into all truth. I truly believe that when person receives the spirit God will lead them UNLESS they become distracted and eventually hardened because of tradition, sin, etc. TD Jakes several years ago made a statement (wish I could find the original quote) he said basically that denominations do not tell us what you believe, they simply tell us where you stopped following God. I believe this to be very true.
When people are truly seeking after God he will lead them. But many people resist the leading of the Lord or simply disobey it because the church their in tells them it is not necessary, a family member discourages them, etc. This is true even in the "apostolic" church. The majority of members have never grown in their walk with God. Most cannot even tell you why they believe what they say they believe/dress/live/etc.
