Philippians 1:15-18 (New International Version) 15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, .....[a] 18But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.

The reference to “Christ is preached” is the key here. There are over 25,000 different brands of “Christianity” and yet there can be only one Truth, and the Christ through his Apostles established ONE Church. This we get from faith, reason, historical and sacred tradition, and of course Holy Scripture. Distort or misrepresent any one of these foundational stones and you have an edifice of fraud.
