Those of us who teach the doctrine of separation we do NOT believe separation saves us. Only faith in the the shed blood of Christ in obeying the gospel saves. However God demands His people be separate from this ungodly world or culture. We see God teaching us this in Genesis 1, He separates the light from darkness.
All through the law that is our school master it teaches those chosen people were to be a separate people in everything they did. Their lives were ordered. The Message of Grace does not teach us that we are free to lose our separation. In fact Paul the Apostle of Grace declared ‘Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate.’ 2 Corinthians 6:17.

You can be separated and NOT saved, but you can’t be saved and not separated.
Grace teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live godly in this present world.
Since we are the Chosen destined for the glories of the world to come to reign with Him, we are to learn to reign our lives through the power of the Spirit and cleansed by the preached word.
Living a saved life is the best life. I haven’t missed a thing worth having living for Him. I am humbled He would have me! Bought me by His Own Blood, forgave my sins, in fact remitted them the filled me with His own life. Gave me hope, peace, joy, then eternal life in Him.
And Heaven to come with a new immortal Body. Separated Unto Him.
