BPG.. how 'bout I throw a wrench into the works.
Denominations within Christianity are a result of theology, which is merely man's philosophy (opinion) about the aspects of the religion and scripture. At the moment there are over 7 billion people in this world with opinions (hence potentially 7 billion denominations). Now you have a choice, you can create a denomination of your own or follow one ready made, but in the end you are just following someone's opinion and not necessarily what Jesus taught. Never mind that the official State church abandoned Jesus for the world of man 1700 years ago and sought to do so long before that. All that followed regarding Christianity, stayed the same course.
It might be wise as a first step to follow only the opinion of Jesus. His teachings did not serve any denomination, they served the Father. His only gospel was the Gospel of the Kingdom., He did not come to create a religion which begats endless denominations. He came to suggest a way of life alternate to the ways man has created human earthly existance upon.
Simply put, there are two options. No not right/left. One is the will of man (in which right/left fits) and the other is the will of God in which there is no place for the divisive spirit of man.
Man's will serves self, seeks gain at the expense of others and defines good and evil to self justify acts pursuing the aforementioned. God's will loves neighbour as self and is the polar opposite to man's will. There is your real bipolar world. God's will seeks nothing for self.
Work on that concept for a while and if you feel the need to find a denomination to meld you into their image, then seek one that best serves the will of God and not the will of man. Not an easy thing to do.
Be careful. Christianity went back to serving the will of man almost 1700 years ago when it rejoined the State after centuries of trying to legitimize yet another institution of man (while the real Christians simply lived the ways of the Kingdom). This is not to say there aren't good people in Christianity. It is to say the scales within are tipped in favour of the will of man.
Focus not on human theology but on Jesus and loving all neighbours as self, and you can't go wrong. Truth is in scripture, not religion. Religion can serve either side, manor God. Of course the world of man will hate you for not playing by their rules but that particular divisiveness is what it is all about.
