1 Corinthians 11. 27-29 says you drink damnation into your soul if you celebrate Holy Communion in an unworthy manner. No end of churches give the bread and the wine to people who openly promote Anti-Christian things: Sabbath violators, pro-choicers, pro-gay marriage people...
For century after century various Christian denominations trampled on 1 Cor 11. 27-29 by giving the bread and the wine to evil kings, evil nobles, evil henchmen...
The scriptures are clear there is only one True Church, but, if you prefer, suppose there are 1, or 2, or 27, or 177 Christian denominations which lead people to Heaven...
And suppose there are 599, or 789, or 4,895 denominations which are lost in heresy and lead people to perdition.
You of course want to join a Church which will lead you to Heaven not to eternal perdition!
2 Thess 2 deals with the Antichrist and strong delusion.
If you are convinced your church leads people to Heaven, but if it is lost in heresy and leads people to perdition, then you're lost in a strong delusion.
Let's look at some logic which says a person is delusional if he promotes more than one church.
A preacher goes to a park and tells people the Church of England is God's True Church which leads people to Heaven. He says all other churches are false churches, says all other churches are lost in heresy and so they drag people down to eternal perdition. He meets Roman Catholics and Lutherans, Presbyterians and Baptists, Mormons and Eastern Orthodox believers etc , etc., who are offended by his preaching. They hate his message that only the Church of England leads people to Heaven. They hate hearing that every other Christian denomination is a false church which drags people down to eternal perdition.
The animosity the Anglican preacher receives causes him to capitulate. He can't endure the hatred any longer. So he changes his tune and says the Church of England, and the Roman Catholic Church, and the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Presbyterians, and the Methodists, the Mormons, the SBC, the ELCA, the LCMS etc., etc., are all churches which lead people to Heaven.
This is delusional because...
The Church of England either leads people to Heaven or else the Church of England doesn't lead people to Heaven. The Church of England is either God's True Church or else it isn't.
If the Church of England is lost in heresy and leads people to perdition, if it is a false church, then when you tell people the Church of England will lead them to Heaven - when it will lead them to eternal perdition - then you are leading those people away from Heaven and to perdition. So, you are a heretic, so you will go to perdition.
On the other hand, if the Church of England leads people to Heaven, if it is God's True Church, then you should promote only the Church of England. It would be taking a hellish risk to promote churches other than the Church of England. Your eternal soul will go to perdition if one or more of these other churches you are pushing is a false church.
If you assure people that a specific church will lead them to Heaven, when in fact that church will drag them down to eternal perdition, then you are leading those people away from Heaven and to perdition - so you are lost in heresy, so you will go to perdition if you never repent.
