I don't think there should be a truce in the internecine wars until issues like the trinity, predestination versus preordination, baptism by dipping versus sprinkling, ordination of women, the fate of non baptized infants who perish, whether natural disasters are holy judgements and whether the Bible is to be taken literally.

Or transubstantiation of communion. Need a final answer on that, too.

God sees the heart. One eats meat because he believes God said for him to, another believes he shouldn't. To him that believes he shouldn't, it's a sin to eat it. For him that believes it is okay, it is not a sin for him to eat it. They are both doing it for the Lord from their hearts.

The heart of the matter is, did they humble themselves before God and ask forgiveness through faith in Jesus Christ and believe they died with Christ, were buried with Christ, and resurrected to a new life in Christ and are following him? If so, they are a child of God and their names are written by God in the Lamb's Book of Life. If they love God and have made him Lord of their lives, that is the heart of the matter.
