Christ is not divided.

To whatever extent Christians have disagreements amongst themselves - it is carnal, not Spiritual.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.

For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. – I Cor 3:1-7

Again I say, we should beware any religious authority, assembly or belief that seeks glory for itself.

That includes beliefs that glory in apostolic succession, kosta50.

Christ is not divided.

"But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." -- 2 Corinthians 10:17

To God be the glory!

That could very well be; but it could also be from following the evil spirit who appears as the Angel of Light.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." -- 2 Corinthians 10:17

My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism [James 2:1]
