That is exactly the way/reason the Methodist Church started.

They became known as 'The Holy Club' or 'Methodists' because of the methodical way in which they carried out their Christian faith. John Wesley later used the term Methodist himself to mean the methodical pursuit of biblical holiness. In 1738 John Wesley had a profound spiritual experience.Jul 12, 2011

They broke away from the Church of England which broke away from the Catholic Church.

History shows that there will be more breakaways.
