The right way to handle those who don't agree on spiritual doctrines

This is the attitude Christians need to have when dealing with those who differ with them in spiritual doctrines:
"I'll pray for you, and I love you, but I don't agree quite the same."
And if you find they don't agree quite the same as you - and can see that they aren't likely to change their views any time soon - then often, it is best to keep communication on those things at a minimum with them. Since God wants us to be peacemakers and also to help keep the unity of Christians in the whole church of God, here on the earth. It does no good to keep telling their views if they are solidly set in their own views on a thing. It is the same way when working at converting unbelievers to Christ. If they aren't interested or open to hearing the gospel message you have to offer - then just pray for them, and let the Holy Spirit work on them.
Jesus preached to crowds a lot. Paul did too, and preached regardless of what opinions might be of some in his congregations. That's a lot like posting spiritual things on the internet. But Jesus didn't explain spiritual things to others personally, unless He knew they had a genuine interest in hearing what He had to say. He always explained such things personally - aside from the crowds - to his disciples.
I looked for testimonies of people who got converted to Christ. I noticed some were more like Luther - in his approach to salvation. Coming out of the Catholic church - he had to learn that works alone can't save anyone. That gave him much relief, and led to his salvation, since he came to see that being saved came largely as a result of God's grace. He rejected the book of James, I've read, as he thought it was not a genuine book of the Bible.
Other testimonies of conversions I read about - were about people who prayed to get converted to Christ, but didn't at first respond to the need to repent of their sins. They didn't have full assurance of their salvation, until they learned the importance of repentance, from the Bible.
As for myself, I thought I got converted, when I was 12 years old. But I denied the need for full repentance towards God. I didn't come to full repentance unti many years later, after I surrendered my life wholly to God - and came to be in the habit of always praying for God to help me be as obedient as was possible. And always doing my best to be as obedient to God as I possibly could, And always repenting daily of my sins. After that big change of my way of following God in my life - I for the first time, had full assurance of being saved. And have continued to have that assurance ever since.
I used to strongly feel the presence of evil forces in my life, and it felt scary. Now, I feel safe - and feel God's presence with me every moment of every day in my life. So much better this way - so glad for this very important improvement in my life!

Eph 4:1-3
4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

We shall have to disagree to disagree.

Its a forum....not a tea party.

i disagree with agreeable disagreement.

I love tea, and I love you too! T42 please.

How could a sweet lady like you have that attitude in a FORUM where ideas are exchanged, debated and disputed.....to ignore them that do not agree with you? I'm certain the apostles faced that daily, but they were never deterred. To offer to "pray" for them is an back-door insult and indicates some spiritual pride....it says to them 'you are wrong to disagree with me and are not saved like I am'.

Its a forum....not a tea party. But being civil is part of good manners.
My first venture into the forums a couple of years ago.....off and on since for awhile.....when I looked back at my exchanges with others I was appalled at my behavior. It was a good lesson to me to see my own spiritual pride.

Thank you for your honesty . If we can all learn to judge ourselves in this way we would do well

It may not be a tea party ... but it should be. Coming together to “feed one another and build up one another” rather than consuming one another. It is always the preferred way of fellowship - even online. We all think we have something to offer others I assume, and all we have worth offering is whatever gift we have received from God. And the gifts of God are meant for the building up of one another to the unity of the faith.

If we don’t discern the body of Christ we really may lose sight of the fact how we treat one another is the measure of our love for Christ.

Paul addresses this issue in Romans 14. Paul seems to think that those who argue about doubtful issues are weak in the faith. He even addresses the issue of Sabbath keeping as one of these doubtful issues. Paul tells us we are to accept what other Christians think of these issues, to go along with the people who feel they are important, for if we don't we impeded their salvation.

In the book of Isaiah we are told it is fine to discuss ways of the Lord together, but Paul points out that we can make this a stumbling block for others if we quarrel instead of discuss.

What you are saying is in line with what the bible says:

Titus 3:10 says “Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. ” In Luke 9:5, it says “And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of the city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.” We also see with Jesus, how He would give one or two rebukes to the Jewish leaders and continue to preach to others who are willing to listen.

There are those who will never believe what you are saying, no matter how much biblical evidence you present to them.

It is our duty to present the truth and the Holy Spirit’s duty to convict the person of righteousness and sin (John 16:8). We cannot do the job of the Holy Spirit and convince the person. If they do not believe us, then we should pray that the Holy Spirit speaks to them. We should especially pray for them because there is an invisible spiritual war that is happening, and we are not wrestling with flesh and blood, but against evil principalities and rulers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). The devil, the deceiver, does not want people to believe the truth and speaks to their mind and gives them excuses to reject the truth.

There are very few people who will accept something that they hear or read for the first time. Some people accept something after they have heard it for the fourth, fifth or seventh time from different people. Other barriers that cause the rejection of the truth is people’s biases and prejudices and tend to focus on who the messenger is and not what the messenger is saying.
