I wonder if a Baptist person faced with the option of having to join another Christian Group (Mormon or whatever, or vice versa) would be willing, since "well, its still about Christ" kind of thing. I imagine it could go either way based on the individual, and certainly in historical examples where the schism was between Christians, they still warred pretty hard (as have schisms within other religions, I would think).
But if it were an individual having to decide whether to modify their Christianity to that of the dominant group to survive, it might be an interesting deliberation.
In history this has occurred, however it was Roman Catholics merging with the Roman Orthodox. Where the Orthodoxy from Byzantine merged into the Catholic Church or Vatican Church depending the preference named.
