No, it means don't stir up strife in the church by arguing about non-essentials of the Christian faith.
2 Timothy 2:23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.

What denomination was Paul when he wrote this?
Being of one accord - ÏÏ
ÌμÏÏ
Ïοι sumpsuchoi - of one soul; having your souls joined together. The word used here does not occur elsewhere in the New Testament. It means a union of soul; or an acting together as if but one soul actuated them.
Of one mind - Greek “Thinking the same thing.” The apostle here uses a great variety of expressions to denote the same thing. The object which he aimed at was union of heart, of feeling, of plan, of purpose. He wished them to avoid all divisions and strifes; and to show the power of religion by being united in the common cause. Probably there is no single thing so much insisted on in the New Testament as the importance of harmony among Christians. Now, there is almost nothing so little known; but if it prevailed, the world would soon be converted to God;

No, it means that the Church was supposed to stay together (be of one accord) and NOT break apart into separate denominations, unfortuneately that didn't happen.
This message calling for unity is located all throughout the New Tesatament.

Since a denomination is not the whole, but only a part, He will not saved a splintered group of people. He will save the one faith, one hope, etc Eph 4
