We believe that Scripture commands God’s people to be holy and separate from all polluting influences, including sin, disobedient brethren, and false teachers.
Personal: Individual believers are the temple of the Holy Spirit and so must be pure from sin. They are not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers nor found to be friends of the world.
(II Cor. 6:14-7:1; I John 2:15-17; James 4:4)
Ecclesiastical: The church as a whole must separate from those who teach false doctrine and attempt to subvert the saints.
(Rom. 16:17; II Thes. 3:6-15; II John 9-11; II Cor. 6:14-18)
