We believe God’s children are called to be separate from wickedness, living lives of holiness as unto God; that separation applies to the individual as well as the church body; that separation entails avoidance of worldly practices in obedience to the direct commands of Scripture and in subjection to the conscientious application of biblical principles and requires the believer to refrain from alliances or fellowship with groups or individuals which deny the basic fundamentals of the faith or choose to walk in open defiance of clear commands of Scripture. Such would include evangelicals who practice or tolerate ecumenical evangelism and inclusive fellowship with groups holding unsound doctrines. We oppose the charismatic movement in all its various manifestations.
