Unity in different denominations in even wrong teachings is possible but is not TRULY Christian Unity!
There is only one way that True Christian Unity can be had and that is by following only ONE leader and all in the church being lead ONLY of His Spirit.
Notice He tells us,
Joh 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Then who is this Spirit of Truth?
Joh 15:26 ¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
That is not just a casual statement but is a wonderful promise!
Now let us realize something, and that is, to have True Christian Unity all must be of "His Spirit of Truth."
Now, let us ask ourselves this question, Where in all the churches with a denominational name do we see True Christian Unity?
We have to realize this, Christian Unity is far more and higher than is any association or denomination or federation or council even of all the Christians in the world for any purpose or upon any platform or in any cause or in submission to any church-government. And it is so well worth having that it is worth more than all other things put together.
Why? Because,
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.
When we are all led of His Spirit and ALL worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, we will have True Christian Unity, but not until!
1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1Jo 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1Jo 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

I find if one thinks about it there is no True Christian Unity in any worldly church denomination. That Unity will only be when guided by His Spirit into ALL truth! His Church is not a worldly church of men but of Himself, built upon Him the Rock? There never was any need for any man or group to try to organize Him His Church, that of man cannot be done. His Church is the Church of the Living God and Jesus Christ was His selected Builder. It never fell, men fell from it, but we need not be of them, let us be in His and of His Spirit! on In His Church, There Will be True Christian Unity!
