He tells us to "earnestly contend" for that "common" faith.

Standing for what someone believes, as truth, does not mean that we put others in some box that God cannot reach, that we do not associate our lives with those that do not view things quite like we do.

Being that there are various views and beliefs, it's best to follow after what we, ourselves, perceive as truth and not worry about what others believe or what they are doing. We can and only will get wadded up like a bad "junk drawer".

I'm not interested in that, at all.
Right! How could we win souls if we isolate ourselves? We can't! We might as well move out west and build a gated community and only let those who share our similar beliefs in.

Oh wait... that already exists...
