I am thankful for passages like Acts 15:36-41, which gives us some insight into how to deal with personality and methodology differences. Luke reports to us about a clash between two great men of God, Paul and Barnabas. This is not a pretty picture. I wish we were reading that they talked things over and they calmly agreed to work in different spheres, but that is not what we read at all. Instead, the clash led to an unpleasant rupture in these two godly men's close working relationship.
