There are a lot of Christian denominations. Some figures flying around claim numbers in the region of 30,000-45,000. While these are widely exaggerated, there are still a lot. Do we need them all, and are they crucial to the Christian faith?

We see one of the earliest splits occurring in Act 15, when some of the Jewish Christians started claiming that Christians needed to be circumcised and follow the law of Moses. Despite discussion with the apostles and confirmation from the Holy Spirit that this was not necessary, some believers continued to teach this.
