Re: Is this the scripture we teach to be separate?

The concept is valid--it just isn't really supported by the "come out from among them" scripture. Using that scripture out of context leads to the misinterpretation in which people go to great lengths to appear separate just for the sake of it.
I agree!

I do also believe that a Christian lifestyle will cause us to transform and have a natural separation from unbelievers in appearance, behaviour, lifetstyle, etc.

I've always spelled that - behaviour - both are correct though. lol
