I was not aware that Hal Lindsey had ever prophesied. Are you sure about that Azure? To the best of my knowledge he has spent his career interpreting prophetic scriptures in light of world events. He's been wrong a lot and probably should be ignored but, I don't think he should be classed as a false prophet for that.
My wife's Grandfather in the middle of some theological discussion with me said "You Baptists think your right and everybody else is wrong". My response was to ask him if he thought he was wrong. He didn't respond. My point is that someone is right. Maybe not on everything but, on the important things like: Who is God and what does He want from me? Now I've been told that India alone has more than a million gods. As someone has pointed out already within Christianity there is a wide variety of sects who think they are right. Each would have a slightly different answer to that question(Who is God and what does he want from me?). Ultimately all but one answer will be wrong. That should be sobering to us all. The Atheists are staking their eternity on having the right answer to the question just as much as I am as a Baptist or someone else is as a Mormon. But because the odds are against me or the next guy being right should we be silent and think we're somehow wrong? I think not. We should walk by and express what we know to be true until proven wrong. How else should a person live? Determine in your heart and head what is true and live it out. Never close your eyes to others answer to the question but, until you find a more probable answer than your own you run with what you believe. If in the end I find my self standing before God and I got the answer wrong at least I'll know I made the attempt.

Great post!
In the past I've struggled with that question: "How do we know what we believe is right and what the Mormons/JW's/anyone else believe?"
As you seem to be saying, it all comes down to faith. Believe what you believe with everything you have and live it out.
