Then, those you disagree with, unless the elders of the congregation are OK with it, you would have to keep your mouth quiet to prevent disunity in the congregation. Some elders are OK with expressing differences in certain areas, and even allow preachers/teachers to present their views in front of the congregation, but those same elders are strict about other doctrines you may actually agree with.

Basically, it is important you determine two things:

1. Would you still call them brothers/sisters?
2. Are those doctrines you disagree with core for you? Can you live with the disagreement keeping silent to prevent disunity if the elders don't allow the different view to be discussed openly?
