What does the Bible say about neutrality in faith?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that neutrality in faith is dangerous; one must choose sides between God and man.

The concept of neutrality in faith is confronted in the Scriptures, particularly in Matthew 12:30, where Jesus states, 'He who is not with me is against me.' This implies that there is no neutral ground when it comes to one's relationship with God. Gamaliel's example in Acts 5 illustrates this dangerous middle ground where he hesitated to take a stance on the apostles' ministry. God calls for His people to be actively on His side, as suggested in Joshua 24:14-15, where Joshua urges the Israelites to choose whom they will serve. Neutrality, as demonstrated by Gamaliel and echoed in these Scriptures, can lead one away from the truth and into disobedience.
