Mary,
Please explain in more detail what you mean by “remnant”... I think we may have a couple of different interpretations of this word... Personally I believe that the “remnant” in the “church age” which we are presently in INCLUDES all of those who are saved and does not refer to a paticular “organization” of human design....
No, it’s not of human design. IMO, it’s those who are saved and still following the Lord, those who have not been deceived by the anti-christ. Unfortunately, many ‘church goers’ will fall away, but His children will not.
