So I can see both sides here. For me personally, I reserve the right to make the decisions in my home, and in most cases it may be ever more strict then these guidelines.
Having said that, do alot of Apostolic pastors feel that anyone outside of Apostolica is considered "unequally yoked", or is it just strictly a rule for mixing with a sinner? I ask that question mainly because even in the Apostolic church their are loose people. I have heard of many horror stories with church lock-ins etc.

The "unequally yoked" part is far too often made into a denominational thing and even, occasionally, turned into a "keep it within these 4 walls" rule.
