Apostle Paul talks about unity in the body of Christ, yet most believers belong to denominations. Some claim they belong to "non-denominational" but they still have their own gimmicky doctrines, each of them practice so differently. For example, some non-denominationals practice speak in tongues and follow the Pentecostal denomination.
Most churches condemn divisions but they are dividing themselves with denomination and belong to denomination.
1 Corinthians 1:10-13 (New International Version)
Divisions in the Church
10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas[a]"; still another, "I follow Christ."
13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into[b] the name of Paul?
