1 Corinthians 1: 10 & 13

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Or should we consider *his* name only to be the appropriate choice of our heading? (Ephesians 1:19-23)

I seriously cannot see how a person could be honestly trying to do God’s will (or following Christ’s example) and yet not want his name (the name that is above every other name, btw) on the church he/she chooses to study with.
