"Laodicean church and the bride"


 

To all doves,
A couple of questions for you to consider.
The Laodicean church has long been the brunt of negativity in the church. Rightfully so as they will be spewed out. But if you do a side by side comparison of the rewards to the overcomers of the seven churches, ONLY the Laodicean overcomers are said to sit on the throne with Christ, Meaning being a queen, and are said to conquer as Christ conquered. So would this not indicate that the bride consists solely of the Laodicean overcomers?
 
Now some have argued that We are in the Laodicean church age. Meaning the whole church as it exists now is the church of Laodicea. Could this also not mean that the Parable of the ten virgins found in Matthew 25 also ONLY refers to the Laodicean church?
 
What I am saying here is not denying the rapture, Philadelphia church is clearly removed before the events of tribulation, but they are set apart as a "royal priesthood" in his coming Kingdom,(Pillar in the temple) not as bride. But those who overcome as Christ overcame will be his bride. I am looking for input on this.
 
I also want to get some feedback on the following religion, and what is wrong with this doctrine.
