When we can simply acknowledge each other in Christ Jesus, and not judge one another's journey, it gives glory to our Father God. I love Paul's word: "Receive one another therefore, just as God has received you in Christ Jesus."
The church is not something we do. The church is us coming together to celebrate what God has done. Our only "work" is to: 1) repent and believe into God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; and 2) receive one another. That's it.
Enjoy the journey.
