Wouldn't being separate require complete removal from these circumstances so that they won't fall prey to false doctrine and worldliness?
Just a little question.

The Apostles went into those situations. If separation really meant that then we need to build a mega compound with armed guards and do no evangelizing.
In fact Jesus said 'as you have sent me into the world, so have I sent them into the world"
