In Romans 14:13 it says that we should never judge others, and never place an obstacle or impediment in their path that could cause them to stumble. It says that no object in and of itself is unclean. HOWEVER, if fellow believers are convinced that something is unclean, then it IS unclean to them. If the food you eat harms your Brother, then you have failed to love him. Do not let what you eat tear down your Brother.
In other words, If someone is convinced that (Lets say for example) dancing is a sin.. don't try to convince them that it's not, because to them it is.. and if they dance while thinking it's bad, then it IS bad. Don't judge them for thinking that dancing is a sin.. and don't dance while they're around.
It is good to be a free Christian and to not be all law-bound and legalistic but if someone is, then love and respect them and their beliefs.
