You said that both preached Acts 2:38, that it was hard to distinguish between the two messages. Distinguish means that there is something different. Where or what was the distinction?
That doesn't prove though that it has to be divisive. That only shows they differ on where one is saved. Both groups preached the necessity or repentance, baptism in Jesus name and the Holy Ghost
