Serve God with Spiritual Gifts
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
Rom 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,
Rom 12:5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Rom 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;
Rom 12:7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching;
Rom 12:8 he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

Behave Like a Christian
Rom 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
Rom 12:10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;
Rom 12:11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;
Rom 12:12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;
Rom 12:13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
Rom 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Rom 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Rom 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
Rom 12:17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.
Rom 12:18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

Here's my approach. Does the person believe that Jesus is the son of God, died on the cross for our sins and raised from the dead? Is He their King and savior? If so, awesome. The details we can chat about in heaven.

If a person really wants to hash out doctrine with me, that's a different story!

To OP,

In most cases, people tend to focus on disagreements.

It's our human nature to point out what we disagree with.

There are some 40,000+ denominations. Do you think anyone of them is all right? Nope. The only thing that we can do is be in unity and love amongst our brothers and sisters.

There is one thing that is in common amongst all, Salvation and believe through the Messiah. This truth and devotion to Him will lead us in love and unity, we don't need to worry about small disagreements on most things.

Love covers all!

Time for the Bible study group :) I think through regular study of the Word, you two will come to the same place in Christ.
Same place, I think we already are at. Same view of what that means, probably not. But that's OK.
