Could you endure the Persecution of early Christians? The ultimate aim was to destroy the Christian faith completely. But that effort was frustrated by the zeal of the Christians, and by their surprising readiness to suffer and die for their faith. No one better describes that frustration than the Roman lawyer Tertullian, converted in Carthage, who turned the sharpness of his wit to defend the Christians and taunt their adversaries. The pagans, he says, have their own heroes, men willing to die for their country. But if a Christian is willing to suffer for God, he is called a fool! "But go to it, my good magistrates! The populace will count you a great deal better if you sacrifice the Christians ... Persecutions serve also to increase our dependence and trust in God because when we are most conscious of our weaknesses and needs, then his all-sufficient grace more abundantly rests upon us (II Corinthians 12:10-11 Therefore, we need to understand that the so-called "dark days of persecution" may in reality be the time when the light of faith ... ... https://www.bible.ca/g-endure-persecution.htm

Denominations were unknown during the times that the apostles of Christ lived and wrote the New Testament. Divisions, or denominational tendencies, that is, the tendency for one group of Christians to teach a doctrine different from that taught by another, were known about and experienced during the first century. Contrary to many religionists today, who praise division or denominationalism the apostles who (by the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God) wrote the New Testament condemned denominationalism.
