Not necessarily. I prefer a classical worship where others prefer a contemporary worship. I prefer using a Bible and a hymnal, others prefer viewfoils on the wall and drums beating. I am Amill, others are Pre-mill or Post-mill. I can worship at a Baptist, Congregational, Presbyterian, Lutheran, or whatever and feel perfectly at home. We are all worshipping the same God.
I do have problems with those who would be on a Liberal side of things, ie. Women elders, homosexual approval, political church movements, that kind of thing.

Then it should still be a snap to combine all present Protestant denominations into one denomination within which each congregation could retain its own style, but you would all agree on the same doctrine, celebrate the same sacraments, and submit to the same leadership at the top level.

You'd think someone would have already done such a thing, if the divisions are only stylistic and about non-essentials.

Let me ask you this: Is visible unity an essential or a non-essential? (Make sure you read 1 Cor 1:10 before answering.)
