Jesus said that Satan cannot cast out Satan. Because if we were to use demons against demons the demonic kingdom would fall. This is a basic principle in unity. Within Roman Catholicism prior to Vatican II most Catholics were in lock step with each other. Roman Catholic charismatics would of been shut down in a New York minute. Eastern Orthodoxy with all its different groups are still cohesive. Protestantism has nothing like the former, because it is all based on protesting that which came before them. It is all based on coming out of something else. So, just like a cell, it keeps splitting and breaking off to become another form from its prior state. There are 38,000 Christian denominations. By 2025 there will be 55,000. America is the home of new and improved, and therefore we have those who create a new form of Christianity almost on the daily.
It is as done as the dinner dishes.
Hence the reason why we are called "Little Flock"
In every generation there will always be a remnant.
Many are called, but few are chosen. The way is hard to navigate, it is a strait way, not a straight path. The gate is almost closed, where you must press into it. Jesus said that there would be few who ever find it.
Every group wants the big numbers, the big congregations, but the Biblical reality is that there is only a little flock.
