The Divisions in the Corinthian Church

• 1 Corinthians 1:12 (NLT)

---

The divisions within the Corinthian Church:
The "Paul" Party emphasized freedom and liberalism. We can sin as much as we want because we have Jesus.
The "Apollos" Party empasized intellectualism. He was a strong teacher, so empasized how smart they are.
The "Cephas" (Peter) Party emphasized legalism. Keeping of the old testament laws.
The "Christ" Party emphasized exclusivism. They were the cut above Christians.
