James,
It depends what you mean as early church history. The NT is early church history and addresses the issue in question as in where some said they followed Paul and some Apollos.
Of course there were some confusions in some churches which all the epistles address.
Scriptural correction is not blame but equipping for all good works, blame is what the untaught and unstable twisters would call it.

Well confusion is only being generated for some because their theology was being corrected. But Peter’s epistle is affirmation of Paul’s epistles, I don’t see any deferential at all.Peter does make mention of some confusion being generated by Paul’s epistles but his critique is rather deferential to his fellow apostle. (2Pet. 3:15-16) IMO, it's not quite fair to put ALL the blame on the shoulders of the spiritual dullness of Paul's readers.

Only to the unstable and twisters, as Peter’s epistle says.The Apostle Paul’s writings were/are the source of many misunderstandings of theology.
Or maybe their audience was completely different. Jesus spoke ‘only to the Lost sheep of the House of Israel’ (
Not entirely, because the epistle to the Romans is to the church in Rome of Jews and Gentiles who were not getting along. Romans 1 addressed the sin and lawlessness of Gentile cultures and Romans 2 the legalism and judgmentalism of Judaism.Matt. 15:24) and the Apostle Paul to Hellenistic largely scripturally ignorant gatherings (Rom. 15:16).
