Not all, but most don't matter. Why? Because our greatest command is to love our lord God with all of our heart, mind, spirit and strength. And because we are all a little different this all encompassing love will play out differently. Remember we as Christians are free from the law as a means to righteousness because of the attonement Christ died to provide. This means what we are judged on centers around this all encompassing love we are supposed to have and whether or not our actions reflect this kind of love.

After all a intelectual man builds a church and worships God as if he were in school, lots of lectures, endless research, personal study and lots of reading. While say a more active man would not be able to worship God with all of his being in that setting. He may need to hear lots of songs maybe even from different genres, see a principle acted out in some sort of play, to truly worship God with all of his being.
But, the enviroment that would all the active man to fully give himself over to God would keep the intelectual man from doing that most important thing.

If you look at the rev 2 and 3 you will note john writes to 7 different churches. I believe that these 7 churches repersent the 7 different profiles that encompass All of the different denominations. Why? Because if you read the profiles all 7 are different enough to have seperated themselves from each other in today's world. What was the reason for the seperation then? The region the churches were found were of different cultures and different class of people. Some wealthy and educated, some poor and more active. Each church john mentions has its own special unique way of worshiping God.

But again, in order for your denomination not to matter one must fall under the attonement Christ offers. Otherwise according to Paul and what he said to the Galations you/they are not Christian.
