401. Should Believers Associate with Unbelievers?

See 2Co_6:14; Heb_3:12; Act_14:2; 2Pe_2:1-2; also Ch. 313, 17. It is not intended, however, that the believer should hold no communication with those who are still in the darkness of unbelief, otherwise he would not be fulfilling the divine command to spread the Gospel, and, "show forth Christ," at all seasons. He should, however, avoid all such associations and relationships'97business, social and otherwise'97as would bring a discordant element into his own home or business life, and thus antagonize spiritual growth. To put such people on the level of home acquaintances and intimate friends, would be very likely to prove spiritually disastrous to some member of your household.
