Why does Christ's teaching require a label?

A work in progress. I'm not happy with the way it has flowed. I only want people to think, I didn't come to preach.

...

Why do we have so many factions in the Christian religion? Are we following the teachings of Christ? Or one of his disciples? Do Baptists actually believe that John was the correct one? Wasn't Christ the son of God? And the Mormons? God, didn't get the story out with her own son so she sends a second messenger? And Jehovah's witnesses? Christ is lying when he says that all are welcomed into heaven? I've heard the joke "A Presbyterian is a Baptist that can read", but am I the only one that has read the bible?

Matthew 12:25
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.

Granted, Christ is talking about driving out demons when he is accused of being a demon himself, but the meaning still stands. If you exclude a fellow Christian - even though few of you seem to use that title and perfer to use your belief's title - you are seperating yourself from the house of God.
