We should always remember that everyone who belongs to Christ is being used by God as it please him. If we use carnal reasoning, we might, in effect, think that we can do a better job than God, and bring forth an unified organization along carnal lines rather than the unity of spirit (Ephesians 4:3) that should prevail among those who belong to Christ. Nevertheless, many have taken to forms of sectarianism, and give devotion to this or that man, or group of men, so as to accept whatever such men may say as being truth. -- 1 Corinthians 3:1-9.
Along this same line of reasoning, we may tend to reject a brother as being Christian based on some disagreement regarding the application of a scripture. Again, it is not up to us to judge whether this or that brother is of the body of Christ based on such disagreements of some application of scripute. At the same time we should understand that God has given us various ones to help us eventually attain the unity of faith based on a knowledge of God's Son, so that the body of Christ becomes a full-grown man. -- Ephesians 4:11-13.
