(I use the small "g" *very* deliberately) As long as we're committed to the same Kingdom I think it's quite good to be concerned about particular parts of it. The body analogy for instance. The problem seems to be when people do this to the exclusion of all other stuff. The "my gift is X, so I don't do Y." And also when we claim exclusive knowledge of our passion. The "my gift is X, so you need to do X like me." Often it seems that we choose passions, or that God chooses our passions, because they are unique, or undervalued by others.
