Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1 and 2 we are not to be divisive. Why does Baptists have so many sub-denominations under the Baptist label? What purpose do they serve? Why do certain individual baptists care more about the label than being just a christian?

From my limited study on Baptist denominations, I've realized that the trend, in some cases, stems from personality clashes. Other times, it depends on if you are a fan of Calvin or of Arminius.

Personality problems (pride) has been the biggest problem I've seen. Technically, Baptists agree on principle.....it's the WORDING that causes the feuding!

Check out the thread called "Denominational Sites." rlvaughn gives some information to the formation of the Baptists in the United States and why they came about.

Interestingly a number of Baptist churches although being seperate denominationally work together in missions in the Baptist World Alliance.
