If I visited a church that taught something I disagreed with, the first thing I would do is analyse what the disagreement was. I would then ask myself questions like "why do I disagree with this view?" "Why do I believe in my current view?" "Which view does scripture support more?" After asking these questions, I am able to make an educated decision on whether or not it's worth creating an argument or leaving the church.
Most disagreements are born out of different people viewing parts of the Bible as essential and non-essential. This can lead to church splits and bitter feelings towards one another. We should all be able to go to a church that affirms our beliefs and encourages us to pursue them.
