How would you ever hope to maintain any type of unity having two messages preached on Sunday - one for the morning and one for the evening? Or one for Sunday and one for Wednesday? The church body would wonder at what point they would be saved.
Obviously, you wanted your point preached and believed. Not much different than the other side's view?
IMO, it would be better to preach the same thing - the "common faith" as Paul terms it. In the Greek, "common" is define as "shared".
Kind of a no-brainer that parting company was the only solution.
