Romans 14:4-5 “Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.”

No two believers hold identical views on every matter of conscience.
Experience, upbringing, personality, and a variety of cultural factors contribute to our individual thinking on personal standards.
One man may feel an issue is open for discussion, while another has settled the answer in his own mind. Both have a tendency to believe the other is wrong, but the ultimate judgment should be left to God.
With that being said, we must be clear on the types of issues this passage is speaking about. They are generally observed to be debatable among men of righteous character.
These are not likely debates over specific biblical texts, but rather regarding standards for which we are personally accountable to God.
