Honestly, I've lost the point. Verse 25: "And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth." I don't see this happening in the church today and I want to. The disciples were of one accord. Are we? Is the body of Christ still of one accord?
You seem to suggest (forgive me if I have misunderstood) that division and difference of doctrine is a given amongst believers. Jesus prayed the Father: let them be one as we one. Can we be one and disagree? When Jesus said: you must eat my flesh and drink my blood. How many ways can "eat my flesh" and "drink my blood" be understood? Is there one correct meaning, or many meanings? Does it even matter without love or is the necessary part to be understood of (1Corinthians 14: 24-25) is "Let all things be done unto edifying."
Yes, it, division and doctrine, is a given amongst believers. The Body of Christ is One because it consists only of born-again believers. Because we are still learning about the Bible, because we still retain the old man nature, because we have different gifts within the Body, we are a recipe for divisions. You see this with the Apostle Paul and Barnabas. (Acts 15:36-41) Who was right? Both were. Paul had the importance of the mission in mind. Barnabas had the importance of the person in mind. But a division occurred. Not a division in the Body of Christ. But a division between Paul and Barnabas.
You have only to read Christ's message to the seven churches in Revelation. They would have different doctrines either approved or disapproved by Christ. So, all the way to the end, this is to be expected. Yet, the Body of Christ is undivided as it consists of the born-again believers. And we are working toward that "unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man,...." (Eph. 4:143)
