    Whether all are Christian or not...


    The ecumenical movement downplays doctrinal purity
    and refuses to practice biblical separation.

    The Bible teaching of separation forbids God's people from fellowshipping with error (Romans 16:17-18; II Corinthians 6:14-18; 11:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9; Ephesians 4:14-15; 5:11; Philippians 3:1-2; Colossians 2:8; II Thessalonians 3:6; I Timothy 1:3; 6:3-5; 6:20-21; II Timothy 2:16-21; 3:5,13; Titus 1:10-14; 3:9-11; II Peter 2:1-3; 3:17; 2 John 7-11; Jude 3; Revelation 2:2,6,14-16,20-23; 18:4).

    </font>[/QUOTE]Biblical separation? I want to be clear on this. By biblical separation, do you mean a Biblically supported practice of Christians separating themselves from other Christians on the grounds of doctrine, or what have you? If so, that can be better condemned scripturally than supported.

    Philippians 2:2, and 1 Corinthians 14:33 are two common examples.

    Doctrinal Purity? So which denomonation has the Doctrinal purity? It certainly can't be all of them.

    Thank you, McNeely. I couldn't think of a tactfully succinct way of phrasing that, but I'm glad you could. I eagerly await an answer from her. Blessings to you!
