The problem with the church in Corinth is believers who are supposed to be in Christ but are exhibiting worldly wisdom over and against Godly wisdom. Specifically, this double-mindedness manifests in partisanship. Claiming to be “of Paul” or “of Apollos” is dividing the body of Christ. While the names have changed, the divisions have not. In the 21st Century there are too many Christians who say “I am a Republican” or “I am a Democrat” or “I am of this Pastor” or “I am of that Theologian.” Paul sees this divisive partisanship as immaturity of faith.
