Being separated from the world is rather a good thing, when I was growing up in High School... A cesspool of drugs, sex, and disgusting people in general, it began to change me, and I know a lot of pentecostal people that would go into those types of schools and come out just as bad as the world ever got... Being separated is a very good thing if you don't want to adopt the ways of the world. Trust me, it will happen, because it happened to me even though I strictly told myself I would NOT get involved and do as they did, and I was very firm in my standings but eventually they got to me and I backslid... So, yeah... However, love and compassion. Least for my churches I have never found a single person in the entire world more giving and helpful/loving then a Apostolic family is...
