Soul ties can be put in two basic categories, namely godly souls and ungodly soul ties. In other words, there are good soul ties and bad soul ties.
The soul tie between David and Jonathan was a good soul tie. It was a godly soul tie while a soul tie between a man and his mistress is an ungodly one. The following features or characteristics distinguish godly soul ties from ungodly soul ties.
