One of the greatest theological "debates" i had ever seen was between two good friends. They are both well know theologians, one Arminian one Reformed. They disagreed on a ceetain doctrine but the way they both spoke with humilty and love towards tge other made it a fun debate to watch. They were even joking as they debated.
When discussing theological subjects we should speak wifh humilty first because none of us know it all. Second with love because we should be concerned about each others salvation.
Though to love is the greatest commandment i feel humility should be first for, as mentioned, we are all being sanctified by the Holy Spirit and we all grow in our faith at different paces. If we try and force certain things on others we could cause disruption in the family.
Humility because we are not all at the same place in our growth. Love because we are to love one another as brothers and sisters in Christ.
We must understand that we only know what we know due to the teaching of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not teach each of us in the same way or at the same pace.
I should also note that before we post anything we should be praying for the correct words to use. I often write something then pray before i post it. Because of this, not everything i write is posted. I try my best, im not perfect, to allow the Holy Spirit to direct my words in a way that is most glorifying to God.
Sorry for such a long post but this is the way i feel we should be "debating" upon any subject let alone things dealing with God.

But, false doctrine is always contentious... cause it's, you know... FALSE
The Person is Jesus Christ... and He has published His "doctrine" which simply means teaching... the New Testament speaks of the doctrine of Jesus Christ and His Apostles.
So ultimately salvation comes thru a Person... and this Prson has something to say to teach men of His ways of being and doing right.
Those that want to go some other way can go swimming in that lake of fire.

Don't worry about arguing all the time... you cannot fix stupid!
This is just their way of claiming they are special and everyone that doesn't agree with them was ordained by God to burn in hell.
You never hear anyone of them say "I was not chosen, so God made me for the purpose of burning in hell"
We should not feel the need to talk people out of their false doctrine all the time... if they won't believe the truth, the they will believe delusion and the Lord is allowing them to be turned over to their own devices.
All you can do is declare the truth, intercede, and move on...
Better be careful... calvin will put a hit out on ya!
