Thank you for your reply!

Indeed, I have spent a great deal of time with my brother speaking of Christ. He does not demean my point of view, nor do I demean his - nor do either of us demean the view of other Christians.

We are both Christian, our witness is just a bit different - which is o.k. according to Scripture. Thanks for mentioning Apollos, the difference between Apollos and Paul is a good example:

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am] of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? - I Corinthians 3

If your brother were witnessing the truth of the scripture using the scripture, (especially since his views need no twisting of the scripture) would you interject and contradict everything he had said, with things that flew in the face of a straightforward reading of the passages. I believe he might be offended.

I chose to try and correct you in a respectful way. Please take it as such.

I have never questioned your salvation or attempted to demean you in any way. I am surprised that you read that into my posts.

Forgive me if you misread my post, hopefully I have been able to clarify my statements.
