Second, I don't know what "schism" or "heresy" you're talking about.
Schisms didn't happen in this era because these off-kilter groups didn't have bishops to "break away" from anything. They were often just random guys trying to make some cash (Gnostics) or very crazy Pharisees.

The earliest thing that comes to mind, beyond that barbarity called Gnosticism, were the New Hebrews that called the Apostles "fools" or just presumed that St. Matthew's Gospel was "the only good one".
