|
1 Cor. 1:10-13

Wearing different names is divisive.
|
1 Cor. 11:17-19

A church must be divided when there is sin, so that those who are
approved may be recognized.
|
1 Cor. 3:3-17;
Jude 1:19

Divisions result from carnality; wearing other names (i.e., denominating
the church) is divisive.
|
|
Wearing human names is carnal; therefore, it is sinful.
|

3:1-5; Tit. 3:9-11).
|
2 Pet. 2:1-22
