In non-essentials– we have liberty
“Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters.... Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls.... So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.... So, whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.”

In all our beliefs– we show love
“If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.”
