I have been reading posts all over this site this am. I have let my emotions control to many of my written words. I am ashamed of the bickering i read mine and whoever's. Praying i can state my opinions and move on while dropping the bickering over silly stuff. We are told to say our piece and move on.
Mat_10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Maybe via the internet it is not dust on our feet but dust in our heads, to me the principle should apply.

With what is coming we should pray as Jesus did, to be one more so today then yesterday.

...
Joh 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: ...

Yes for sure there are standards that must be held. Why do we bicker over such silly stuff . If one is blessed with Gifts great why cast doubt to his gift, it is not our business to do so. If one does not have a gift is that our business? The Scripture do not say to be baptized you must be dunked. They do not say it must be a river not a baptismal. We can take a good guess that Jesus was dunked but the Scriptures do not say so. We do not know. Yet we build a whole doctrines around baptism. I believe there is Scriptural evidence for pedobaptism ( Lydia's household) many do not is it my duty to try and force my view on some one else? NOPE . I believe Jesus drank wine as apposed to grape juice other do not . Why not just accept a difference as a simple difference and move on.

Most here do not know about the trials the others have. We may have matters of life and death going on . Kids who are lost in the drug word. Spouse cheating. We should be able to come to a Christian gathering without wandering when the condemnation will start.

Php 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
