Schisms in the church are God's means for making known who His children are. The way they are made known is by the way they respond to sin and conflict within the body. God tells us that schisms are necessary within His work of separating and revealing who are His. When issues arise in the body, some people respond to them according to the abc's spelled out in God's word and others respond according to some man-made standard. God's children are revealed when they do God's will in such a context, which includes how they use their tongue, resolve conflict and serve the interests of others above themselves. Unless ungodly behavior bows to God's truth, the conflict between godly actions and ungodly actions will result in division--but this is God's way.
