All of my friends are Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915.
Post Body

Obviously, I'm Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, but as the title suggests, all of my friends are Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915. :(

I used to justify this with the thought, "Jesus used to hang around with the worst kind of people, whats the harm in hanging around people who just don't know better?". I was hoping to be a positive influence on them. But because of what I see and hear while among them, my righteous soul is tormented day after day by their schismatic ways. I've come to see that they may be doing more harm to my faith than I realised. I'm starting to wonder if I have to choose between being faithful to God or having any human contact whatsoever. (Of course, that would be the easiest decision I've ever considered making.) So I'm wondering if its a good idea to continue hanging out with this group of "believers". (I've already been praying about it, but I'd like the opinion of this subreddit too).

EDIT: When I said "the worst kind of people, I didn't mean Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915 are the worst kind of people, I meant that they are nothing compared to Baptist Church of the Lord. Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone.

EDIT 2: While I don't think I'm going to 'leave' my friends, I'm going to try see if I can possibly find another Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879 believer to hang out with and talk about Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879 stuff. I think I'll also (if possible) try and increase the amount of ridicule I get for my faith. While I'm not sure how to do that, I'm sure all I need to do is read a few of the comment threads for some good ideas.
