are you persecutor or persecutee?
are you concluding without asking?
are you accusing without evidence?
are you being a false witness?
are you persecuting them because they pointed out your mistakes?
are you persecuting by scattering seeds of FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt/deciet) instead of using Biblical (re)proof?
are you ridiculing them because they seem to be overcoming something you are struggling with?
are you magnifying the speck in their eye while forgetting the log in yours?
are you fault-finding instead of helping?
the Great Controversy has only two sides
and those who are in Christ's side follow what He says:
Mar 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Mar 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
Mar 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
finally, Acts 5:28-42 has good attitude to people whom we might not like but are working for revival/evangelism:
Act 5:38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
Act 5:39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
are your standards getting in the way of the Gospel?
Php 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
Php 1:16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Php 1:17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Php 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
