Not at all, and that is my point. They knew there were difference sin some doctrinal and lifestyle stances. Therefore, there would be a progressive move by the movement to solidify those differences over time into "unity of the faith." No one should be surprised that the group did exactly that. it was their intnent form the beginning, IMO. The would endeavor to keep "the unity of the spirit" until they came into "the unity of the faith." Same spirit, different "faith" beliefs. Allow the common spirit to guide them to a common faith.
