I was reading this last night and it got me thinking. A few words changed to make it more applicable.
1 Corinthians 1:10-17, reprised:
10I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Calvin"; another, "I follow Arminius"; another, "I follow Knute Larson"; still another, "I follow Jesus."

13Is Christ divided? Was Calvin crucified for you? Were you baptized into[b] the name of Arminius? 14I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius,15so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. 16(Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
