We should make every effort to acheive unity, but unity should not become the ultimate goal. Our ultimate goal is Jesus, and if compromise is needed to acheive unity - following Jesus needs to come first.
I don't want to be someone who is tossed back and forth with any type of teaching. everything needs to be tested against the bible. I can remember not that long ago when I wasn't particularly bothered about biblical authority! The Bible is the bench mark which everything else needs to be held up to.
No "unwholesome talk" should be coming out of my mouth, but not only that, encouragment should be coming out of my mouth. I might not be shanning people out, but I rarely encourage anyone which isn't really good enough.
