It has been claimed that Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon faith, had a vision in which he communicated with both our Heavenly Father and the Lord, Jesus Christ. Whether or not this is true I have no way of knowing, never having met Joseph Smith and thus having no opportunity to judge his character. What I can say with some certainty though is that the answer he received to his question 'Which is the true church?' is pretty much spot on the mark.
Smith was, allegedly, told that none of the churches of the time were the true church and I would venture to say that remains true to this day. Now, I've never had any kind of visitation from God or Jesus but I do have a close, personal relationship with Them - the kind that the Bible speaks of frequently. As a result of that in addition to my own personal research and much study of the Bible I too believe that there is no such thing as 'the true church' in the manner that we think of it today.
God, through Jesus, did establish a church on earth. But it wasn't a denomination or a building or anything like man's rigid structures that have been placed around the true faith. Dogma and the rigid church rules that are so prevalent today simply have no part whatsoever in the pure and simple faith that Jesus and the Bible teaches.
