Definitely the Holy Spirit WOULD make it possible if the sheep are truly following the Good Shepherd. Following heresies and churches made by men does not seem to me to be prerequisites for knowing His voice.

Again; I would reiterate that there is no Scriptural backing for the concept of multiple Churches that each follow their own doctrines.

I agree 100 percent. When you say churches you obviously mean denominations. There is only one "church"/"body of Christ", and that is all believers no matter which denomination they happen to find themselves in.

And there is plenty scriptural basis for condemning "denominations":

house divided against itself shall not stand. (Matthew 12:25, Mark 3:24f, Luke 11:18)

11 For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? or were you baptized in the name of Paul? (1 Cor. 1)

that they may be one (John 17 multiple times)
