To become like Christ, we must study to be approved as we wrestle with what the Bible says, not what others want to tell us. We must absolutely test all we hear by personal examination of God's word, or we will be spiritually tossed about in the imperfect storm of deception and error. Such cults as Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses thrive on those who fail to seek the truth for themselves. But we who know the truth are required to speak it to others IN LOVE. Then as Christ's body we can grow and function as He designed...
Ephesians 4:14-16
14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ — 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
