2 Corinthians 6:14-18, "Do not yoke ye with the unbeliever. How is righteousness and lawlessness, what has light and what darkness, what has Christ with Belial, and what has the believer with the unbeliever. What does one have to do with one another, and how can God's temple and idols match?
2) Those belonging to heresy (Titus 3:10-11, 2 John 1:10, Titus 1:10-12)
In the history of the church, the countless heresies of the early church including Gnosticism, Roman Catholicism and various heretical sects that appeared in the 19th century, and heretics that are pouring out like bamboo shoots in the present day, that is, all those who preach a different gospel, a different spirit, and a different Jesus. .

conclusion:
1. There is a raging muddy water flowing through the world that defines compromise as love and non-compromise, separation as condemnation.
It is a world that condemns the person who compromises as a loving person and the person who separates as an impersonal without love.
The world is like that, so it is a world where we can understand each other and live and die in a fun way without questioning doctrines, beliefs, or questions.
2. However, believers must fight spiritually through biblical separation.
The reason is that God has commanded the saints to separate.
3. No matter how the world responds to our separate beliefs, it is our mission as saints to speak the gospel with the right doctrine until we meet Jesus.
