Now, at first glance that title may seem provocative but there is a verse that basically says the same thing. That verse is Matthew 5:19.
Matthew 5:19 King James Version (KJV)
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
It almost seems as if people's eyes just scan over that verse. However, it is quite a profound verse for those that come from a legalistic background of sorts. Someone teach against God's holy and righteous law, and they still make it into the kingdom of heaven? Their bubble must be bursting.
With this in mind, how many people do you suppose are indeed your brethren in Christ whom you may have deemed unsaved? Is not His grace sufficient, Christ's sacrifice established? Is not Christ our High Priest able to save us completely because He lives forever interceding on our behalf?
Lets not be quick to throw sheep out of the fold because we disagree on matters, but let us hold unity that exalts Christ. Some might call this compromise, but wherein then is your love? Did not Christ invite those in who are in the wrong? All manner of sinner, liars included. Therefore, people may not hold all the truth, and may yet hold onto one truth. That is, Christ and Him crucified. It is in this truth that unity may be held.
Children of God, unite.

"Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19
Ironically, who are those who actually set aside some commands and teach others to do the same??
