Separation
We believe that God's call to holiness includes both personal and ecclesiastical separation. We believe in separation from joint ministry with unbelief and apostasy. We believe separation also should be exercised from heretical believers who hold the following peculiar opinions and practices which are divisive: (a) unsound Bible interpretations which promote false doctrine; (b) faulty practices inconsistent with clear Bible teachings; (c) worldly or immoral lifestyles contrary to the principles of holiness; and (d) a sectarian spirit destructive to Christian unity.
