This is especially a problem within the community of Fundamentalists ( and in my little group of Baptists, many of whom would consider today's fundamentalists to be liberals), though it is no doubt common to all of humanity in some fashion or another. Humility is very necessary when we approach theology. Not the humility that rests upon the conviction, but humility that rests upon one's self-confidence. We need humility that will enable us to be open minded enough to consider the other man's words, evaluate them, and if necessary adopt his position. Discernment is a rare jewel, but one that needs to be taught to God's people. May God help us that we all would grow to be thinking people whose minds are open to Divine Truth.
