Separation From the World

    We believe in SEPARATION FROM THE WORLD.

    Since our Christian citizenship is in heaven, as the children of God we should walk in separation from this present world, having no fellowship with its evil ways¹. We should abstain from all worldly amusements and unclean habits which defile mind and body².

    We also believe in the Biblical command to separate entirely from ecclesiastical apostasy, and that the believer's separation is to be unto the Lord in whole-hearted devotion to the cause of Christ³.
