I agree with you that denominations are important. One reason is to decentralise the power so no leader rises up like a pope and becomes the 'grand high pumba' of all.

It also covers many different types of ministry that God might be achieving in the world. Too many different areas of focus for one organisation to handle. Sometimes these different ministries judge and condemn each other, being limited in their understanding and paradigm. But many just accept this happily and warmly accept the variety within. And happily back and support each other. Why not? That all makes sense to me and you and is an easy conclusion to reach when love for all is one's motivation I think.
