Is this one of my church is an honour roll student or can beat up your church sort of threads?

Do you chauvinists really think God or the Christ care what church you attend short of apostate?

Nope. There's one church, those who worship the Lord Jesus Christ. This church is a spiritual organism that stretches across organizations.

I'm not sure "care" is the right word. I think they're concerned with our spiritual development. Some organizations can help that spiritual development. Some organizations can hinder it. And some were created specifically to try and stop it. Christ predicted the rise of false religion:

Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
Mat 7:23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
