If possible, I wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on these two articles from Dr. Peter Masters. This question was indeed posed in a very brief thread nearly ten years ago, so I hope it’s alright if I brought this topic to everyone’s attention once more in the interest of the edification of the saints.

I would also be interested in learning if there are any books dedicated to this topic, or what this doctrine and it’s practical implications may have looked like throughout history if anyone historians or theologians are numbered among us.
Lastly, I have recently come to wrestle with the validating the scope of these doctrines. There are many of us who may oppose this doctrine of separation altogether, while others may approve of ecclesiastical separation and yet reject personal separation (in one’s personal or family life as an example). So any insight here would be welcome also.

Why is Secondary Separation such an important issue? | Do they know when to stand apart from false teachers? | Obeying God's call for Secondary Separation keeps us from a thousand snares and heartaches.
