Everyone believes they are right. Else, they would change their opinion. It’s that simple. What I don’t understand is why people get so worked up about what someone else says about whether they’re saved or not. If you don’t agree with their view, why should you care what they say?
I’m very concerned about people’s salvation and the error that prevents many of them from coming to Christ.

IMO, I find it’s often a sort of “ecclesiastical penis-envy.” In most cases, the fervor tends to extend from a sense of defensiveness and inferiority.
To share one’s faith is admirable, and everybody should engage in it. To hate, demean, or bash your brother because he refuses to accept your faith is certainly un-Christian.
