Doesnt this create a sense of Chaos with soooo many groups and factions constantly dividing and multiplying.
Falsehood divides and divides while truth unites and unites.....

Yup. Lack of proper discernment. Is this voice in my head the Holy Spirit or the devil?
Everyone thinks they've suddenly found "the key" to heaven.

No, there are thousands of schisms because everyone knows what the Bible means, but take no regard for the Tradition of the Church that made it. Likewise, these "spirit-filled" men and women are filled with the "Spirit" but live in rebellion to the original Church.
Christ set up an institutional Church inspired by God as a guide. In rejecting it, these people gradually divide and create new doctrines. The root cause, then, is rebellion fostering an improper view of the Scripture and Spirit.
