Have you ever read 2 Cor 6.14-16?"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?..."
Do you understand these words John? Surely you do, if you have the Holy Spirit?
The unbeliever is the unconverted. The unconverted can be religious and can even think themselves Christian. They can even go so far as forming a church and holding services etc..
The passage does not say, try and find common ground with such unbelievers so you can remain with them even though they mistakenly believe that they are believers and pretend to follow the Bible!
Verse 17 which follows is an emphatic command:
"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, SAITH THE LORD, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you..."
Does the "SAITH THE LORD" matter to you John? It should do if you have the Holy Spirit!
This is not a matter of personal preference.
