Each one must determine it for themselves, with the input of a multitude of counselors, wherein is safety, since everyone must be fully persuaded in their own minds. With a healthy outlook that our souls are on the line, and eternity is on the line, in godly fear, we should be very careful and sincere as can be. And approach God in faith to help us understand by the leading of His Spirit. And when others claim a different interpretation than the one we have, we keep in mind that they may be right and may be used of God to correct us, or they may be wrong. Either way, we tread carefully about this and have faith that God will direct. We always maintain carefulness and openness for correction while not falling for anyone who convincingly presents their views.
