When in Rome - "When We Disagree, Agree in This" - Romans 14

We are told in verse 1 of Romans 14 to accept the weak; make allowances for the weak. That means my personal convictions and opinions are not scriptural authority - keep it between yourself and God. Give room for differences, and most importantly, don't tear apart the work of God.  How often have we all seen churches ruptured by differences of opinion? We should not tell others what they "ought" to be doing based on our personal convictions. Likewise, we should not ignore God's prompting when we are doing something in violation of our personal convictions. Can you follow your convictions when the crowd is going the opposite direction?
