>>Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Just because you feel that you have not been called to spread the gospel of Christ in this manner, does not mean that others aren't called. If someone is trying to spread their own beliefs that aren't rooted it the truth (Jesus), then it will fail. However, You are called to spread the gospel of Christ and it doesn't always bring peace.

Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mat 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Mat 10:36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
Mat 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.>>



Good! Go spread some around where they will appreciate it. We already got our share over here.

Sharing the Good News is not telling someone on your team that they are not doing things right, get it?

Your first part is somewhat correct.

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."

If discussion is not desired after first "contact", then the initiator should "shake the dust off" so to speak, and leave. ( which I will do after this post).

Your second part misses the mark on two counts. One, name calling is silly. Two,

2Ti 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.


That is telling someone on "your own team" that they aren't doing it right (according to scripture).

Sincerely
