...denominations prove the Bible true? Jesus sent this warning: “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (Matthew
24:24).

The Apostle Peter correctly predicted that “followers” would be “contaminated”: “There shall be false teachers among you, who secretly shall bring in damnable heresies...” (2 Peter 2:1).

And Paul also knew confusion would follow his departure and left this message: “Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them” (Acts 20:30).

Even the 12 did not see eye to eye on all things including Paul and Peter. Much discussion took place in the early Church, even as to what expectations to place upon the Gentiles in terms of them coming under the law and circumcision, at which was settled that the Gentiles eat not food offered to idols and that they avoid sexual immorality. Jimmy Jones could be sited as a false prophet, Joseph Smith and others.

Satan can come as an angel of light. If any preach a different gospel, let him be accursed. Gospel means Good news and there is only One Good News.

We must all be partakers in the shed blood, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Through what He performed is forgiveness and Eternal life.... and there alone.

No, not while Christ's Prayer for unity exists. ( Jn.Chapter 17.) " Father, may they be one, even as you and I are one...."

Paul said he preached the message of the cross and Jesus crucified and resurrected.
It is not necessary to agree on every single aspect of theology to be considered a part of the body of Christ.Love covers a multitude of sins and it seems many are not able to love people who arrive at different conclusions.
Disputes arise when our egos are offended because someone does not see things exactly as we do.
Jesus prayed that we might all be one.
Oneness is not necessary intellectual assent . It is an agreement to walk in love and yet expect that holiness is a standard that God commands rather than suggests.
