I believe that when it comes to the church unity and purity should be viewed as the same thing. We are united in our purity. There comes that thin line that churches walk on by deciding on what they should allow and what they shouldn't, when we shouldn't be asking God that question, for it almost seems if we have to prove it acceptable against God's Word than we've already lost in God's eyes. Just as an example, some teenagers would ask how far can they go with their boyfriend/girlfriend, when the question should really be God what can I do to glorify you in this relationship. The same thing happens in churches we are asking what can we get away with to benefit our churches when we should be asking God what can we do to Glorify Him. Hope that helps some.
