My own faith is not based on which denomination I side with. My faith rests on GOD's Holy Word.

Well, the idea that there is authoritative conflict within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is debatable, at best. Spin-off branches that teach a different branch of Mormonism have no effect on the policies of the LDS Church, and they often evolve to teach different, sometimes radically different, doctrine than the LDS Church. The LDS Church proper is very authoritative and stresses one religion to reflect the one true Gospel of Christ.
On another note, I don't remember anyone 'hiding' behind a belief like you mentioned above.
Lastly, I can agree that my own faith is not based on a denomination but is given lifeblood through my testimony of Jesus Christ as my personal savior.
