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.
Kristlane võib küll pidada aru küpsete koguduseliikmetega, kuid siiski peab ta ise ’ kandma oma koormat ’ ehk ise otsustama, sest „meil igaühel [tuleb] anda aru iseenesest Jumalale ”.
