IS IT THAT SOME PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY ARE BELIEVERS ARE OFTHE WORLD NOW. JESUS SAID, WE ARE IN THE WORLD BUT NOT OF IT. THE SIDE THAT SAYS DO NOT BRING A BIBLE TO SCHOOL NOR TALK ABOUT YOUR FAITH OR TRY TO MAKE US LIKE YOU, ARE THE CHILDREN IN THE WILDERNESS WHO PUT IDOLS UP AND WERE DESTROYED. THE SIDE THAT SAYS WELL I BELIEVE IN CHRIST, BUT DON'T TELL ME OR READ CERTAIN SCRIPTURES, BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE ONE FEEL UNEASY AND UNCOMFORTABLE IN THEIR COMFORT ZONE. FURTHER MORE, NOT ACCEPTING HOW ONE PRAYS IS ANTI CHRIST. ONE PRAYS HOW THEY KNOW HOW, NOT TO PLEASE ANOTHER BUT IN FAITH LEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, IN FAITH BELIEVING. THIS SEEMS LIKE THE LUKEWARM BELIEVERS, THAT DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FULLNESS OF THE LOVE OF GOD, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT ACCEPT IT, AND REJECT IT DUE TO FEAR. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PERFECTED WITHIN THE LOVE OF GOD. FOR PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR. THERE ARE TWO SIDES, AND NOT THE MIDDLE THE LUKE WARM, FOR GOD SAID, IF YE BE NOT HOT NOR COLD, I WILL SPEW YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH. THIS IS A TERRIBLE PLACE TO BE, WITHOUT THE BLESSINGS, AND THE HELPING HANDS OF OUR GOD. THIS IS THE DARK SIDE OF THE WORLD. THERE ARE NO INBETWEENS. IT'S THE WORLD THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL, OR IT IS THE SIDE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, IN LOVE AND COMPASSION.:) :p:D

Yes....you mentioned very important points. Also ...
Matthew 6:24

New International Version (NIV)

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

How to live in the world and not be a part of it is rather a tricky thing.
