We believe that the holiness of God demands that separation is a doctrine as well as a practice, and that the separation principle runs through the entire Bible. We believe that true spiritual fellowship is the result of common faith and practice. We believe there are several aspects of biblical separation which include:
- Focused separation — separation of the believer unto Jesus Christ and His Gospel and a commitment unto fellowship with other missions, organizations, and indigenous churches whose doctrine and policy are harmonious with GMSA. (Rom. 1:1; Acts 13:2; Col. 2:10; Eph. 4:1-6; Rom. 14:13; Heb. 10:25)
- Political separation — separation of church and state. (Lk. 20:25)
- Personal separation — separation of the believer from the world and sin in order to serve God. (Josh. 24:15; Rom. 12:1-2,14; 2 Cor. 6:14-7:1; Eph. 5:15-18; 1 Jn. 2:15-17; Jas. 4:4)
- Ecclesiastical separation — separation of the church from apostasy, as well as neo-orthodoxy, neo-evangelicalism or ecumenical compromise (in evangelism, in the Charismatic movement, and worldly influences in the church). (2 Cor. 6:14-18; Tit. 3:10; 2 Tim. 3:5, 4:2-4; 2 Jn. 10-11; Phil. 3:17-18; 1 Jn. 2:15-17)
- Familial separation — separation of the believer from an unrepentant, erring brother, when doctrinal or ethical and moral compromise creeps into his life or ministry. (Rom. 16:17; 1 Cor. 5:11; 2 Thes. 3:6,14-15; Mt. 18:15-17; Gal. 6:1)

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." Matt 28:18-19 |
