Just some thoughts....
I have been wondering if we as Christians really take the greatest commandment seriously. I see so much strife amongst my brothers and sisters all due to a difference in opinions. If we are loving God with our everything and then Loving our neighbors as we love ourselves (Matthew 23:36-40) shouldn't it be easy to agree to disagree. We are not responsible for other peoples salvation. We are responsible for sharing Gods love. Yes we will be held accountable for those we lead astray and for the times we disobeyed but If we are loving God with our all will this not happen less and less. Isn't He capable of being our sheperd? Shoudl we not trust that if we think our brother or sister is wrong that He will show them? I am not saying that we shouldn't have discussions and that we shouldn't out of love bring out a concern we might have for someone, but we must be okay with them not agreeing with us. God is a big God. He is capable of holding all he love in his hands. Why do we need to have everyone agree with us. Is it because we are unsure, and if we can get someone to agree with us it makes us feel less frightened? These are all things I have been pondering. If you have thoughts please feel free to comment/share:)

I like what you're saying here. It seems like if there's any disagreement on something than there has to be a break of fellowship. But fellowship should be based in our communion in Christ and in the Spirit, not on agreeing on everything. Good thoughts here. Thanks.
You are my favorite.
