WHAT IS HERESY? Sword of Division OR Bond Of Peace?

Many people throw around the term " heresy, " but never ask the question, "What is heresy." By default "heresy" usually just means, "Theological concepts I disagree with."
The Bible tells us to guard the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. But Jesus tells us that He came to bring a sword of division. What is the standard for Christian fellowship, and how do I know when to break off fellowship with other believers? How do we know when the sword of division applies, and when we need to guard unity and fellowship with other believers?
