You need a refresher course on
Church UnityDid Christ found one Church?
"There is one Lord, one faith, one Baptism; one God."(Eph.34:4-6, Jn.17:21).
Is it against Christ's will for there to be division in His Church?
"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all say the same thing; and that there be no dissension among you, but that you be perfectly united in one mind and in one judgment." (1 Cor. 1:10.)

"You need a refresher course on Church Unity" God's church has always been unified. It's unified around the TRUTH. God will never allow the gates of hell to prevail against it.
There is no unity between light (Truth) and darkness (lies), and never will be. Didn't you know that?
You may want to do some study into the difference between the visible church (includes tares) and the invisible church (excludes tares).

2Cr 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2Cr 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2Cr 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you,
2Cr 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
