excellent point. I think if the friendship is one of necessity, so be it, i.e in the case of a mother, father, brother, sister, cousin. But if it is not out of necessity, I would limit it severely. But this in no way means that you do not love the person and would look out for their best interest. If they come with you asking you for a favor etc, you willingly do it. But buddying up and hanging out is a no no.

If they are at enmity with God, they are at enmity with you, no matter how sweet it looks on the surface.
