Enough to have persuaded many that what they believe is sufficiently different and important to have justified dividing the Body of Christ by the formation of a denomination based upon their beliefs.
Would they have done that for matters other than major tenets of faith?
Baptism, OSAS or OSnotAS, the 4th commandment, the return of Christ, an understanding of the trinity, the degree of inerrancy of the Bible, the first and second resurrection, eternal torment in the Lake of Fire, annihilationism, universal reconciliation, etc.,etc.(all based on biblical interpretations).
The difference isn't in what the bible says, but in the way people interpret what the bible says, often honing in on one or two verses that seem to say one thing and then ignore those verses that are contrary to what they believe thereby leaving them w/ an incomplete doctrine that they consider whole.
