This is a good question indeed, and also one I have asked myself. If the comparison is to non Christians then perhaps the answer is easier because the recompense of faith in Christ is primarily neither tangible nor temporal. We not only live but also die if need be for the cause of the gospel.
If comparison is made to other Christians, I think we are all called to be true to our conscience and our intellect, but I would not assume all others are ouside the body of Christ. Personally, I would start with the assumption that there will be some different conclusions on doctrinal views and practical applications of Christian living on this side of heaven. We are flawed and will continue to be so. Our rallying cry must be the cross of Christ and his perfection. I will lean heavy on that, and be much less dogmatic on all else.
