When believers interpret a passage differently (either within a church or across denominations), how should they relate to each other in a way that promotes unity in the Body of Christ and yet continues to minister God’s Word with conviction?

They should relate to each other in gentleness and understanding. If one is clearly wrong, then explain with gentleness and encouragement the truth. If it’s something that is more widely not fully understood, prayer and further study together would be a great way to promote unity and understanding God’s Word.

If it isn’t directly about salvation, it’s not worth arguing over. (“wood, hay, stubble”) Agree to disagree about the things that aren’t in defiance of Scripture and move on.

Chrisitans should relate to each other humbly. The enemy uses pride to bring division among the brethren. Believers should pray with one another and for one another as they seek the truth. God surely is able to speak us if we are humble.
