So over the course of time, there has always been some "type of reform" in the name of God. People have always felt that their way of thinking vs that which is written is better (for a lack of better terms) for them. The division within the church dates back as early as Sanhedrin and Jesus himself. The Sanhedrin basically gave Him over to be crucified as they didn't Him to challenge the norms of the day. Take a look at 1 Corinthians 1:10 "I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought." This passage tells us to reconsider division in the church and drop the tribalism, be one in all that we do when it comes to our praise and worship. In the church leadership, you'll find animosity that creates factions, as it has done in the past, In Jude 19 for example.

Jude 19 "It is those who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions" —merely sensual creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people, devoid of the Holy Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life. A suggestion would be to take a look at history and ask for yourself, how has division in faith helped anyone ever.
