1 Corinthians 1
10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.
11 For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you.
12 Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ." and "I of Calvin" and "I of Wesley" and "I of Luther" and "I of Baptist"
13 Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,
15 so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.

I can't help but think of the letter to the Church at Sardis in Revelation. You have a name but you are dead. The Protestant church has many names, but we are dead because we do not focus on the name of Christ. We latch on to the names of men and quarrel amongst ourselves, diverting us from the call of Christ and the message of the Gospel.
