I don't think you and Paul meant the same thing when you say "world" here.
Northland's changes and what the Apostle Paul would have said...
1) Becoming accredited... Paul would ask, "Huh? I sat at the feet of Gamaliel and I even quote poets. Why is it wrong to have education standards?"
2) No longer exclusive KJV... Paul would ask, "What is a KJV?"
3) Dress modestly... Paul would say, "Yes, I said that!"
4) No more demerit system... Paul would say, "Demerits are for weak-kneed fools who are more interested in changing behavior than they are recovering their brother and sister in love."
5) Leaving behind forms of secondary separation... Paul would ask, "Didn't you learn from my example with Peter? He got over it and we became good friends."
6) Accepting modern styles of music: Paul would say, "We enjoyed singing the Psalms and antiquated Jewish tunes, but we thought it would be good to incorporate spiritual songs into our worship. We are mixing it up a bit!"
7) Change name from Baptist: Paul would ask, "What's up with that Jack?! Don't you know?! I already chastised the Corinthians for playing games by creating schisms over names?"
