While mature ones in the congregation may be consulted for assistance, each Christian must “carry his own load ” of responsibility for making decisions, and“ each of us will render an account for himself to God. ” ​ — Galatians 6: 5; Romans 14: 12, 22, 23.
Lai gan nobriedušiem draudzes locekļiem var lūgt padomu, tomēr katram kristietim ” jānes sava paša nasta ” — lēmums katram jāpieņem pašam, un ” ikviens no mums atbildēs Dievam par sevi ”.
