Question

Should born-again Christians argue over the things they differ on?

Answer

Now, if you come here and the Holy Spirit reveals something to you that’s been back in your life and speaks something another to you, and you know definitely that that’s the truth, now that’s bound to bring you to a realization that some Supernatural operation of some Supernatural Being is near. Is that right? I just want to check this with you. Is that right? We all know that. Now, you—you have to believe that. Now, you don’t have to believe it’s God. I—I hope that you do. I—I trust that you do. And do you believe that Jesus Christ promised these things would be done? Now, thank you for that. I—I appreciate you. There’s one thing about California people, I want to say this. I—I—I—I’d be afraid to say how many is from Oklahoma or Arkansas because the last time I asked, and it was just about all of them was from Oklahoma or Arkansas. And I heard they call them Okies and Arkies. So, I know this congregation’s made up quite a bit of them. But after all, that’s America, how we’re all made all together. But, in this city here, you—you do have many funny ideas on religion. That’s all right. I seen a man today with whole lots of great big hair and big beard and just had on a little bitty pair of trunks going down the street making all kinds of sign. Said it was a religious man. Well, that’s all right. See, if he wants to do that, that’s up to him. See, that’s up to him. That’s why we’re America here, every man after the dictates of his own conscience. I’m happy for that. That man…Jesus Christ…I am not the man’s judge. No, sir, I can’t judge no man or neither can you. That’s right. Neither can you. Jesus Christ said God would judge us all. So, we might be judged with the same judgment we judge by. So, I say if the brother is wrong, God forgive him and forgive me, too. See? That both of us can get in, that’s what I want to do, both of us, all of us come home to Glory. And it…I believe that all that believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and are borned again of the Spirit of God will go in. I—I believe that. That’s my own thought. And the other things outside of that may be a little different. You might want to, well, you might want to do one thing and me another, but that’s secondarily. Those things you oughtn’t to argue about. Christians in one fellowship, they ought to believe with one heart; as long as we’re Christians, we’re born in the Kingdom of God, we become brothers and sisters.
