It's hard to choose just one of those choices.

I agree that would be quite immodest. There is a problem that needs to be corrected. But necessarily hell? What about someone just newly saved and was never taught modesty yet? Never even had the time for God to deal with them about such things?

Anyway, watch the thread fly... and others get no where. lol

Okay, apparently I am naive about this issue, so I'm taking a poll. Please only answer the poll if you are a licensed UPCI minister. (It's open so that can be verified, if need be.)

It has always been my understanding that standards and rules and guidelines were not heaven or hell issues, but rather preferences, protective measures, boundaries, or issues of personal consecration. I was not aware that a large majority of the UPCI ministerial constituency taught these things as heaven/hell issues or salvational issues.

I guess I've been in the dark all these years. So enlighten me.

This is the thing, Brother Blume! We need the Lord to do the work and how blessed it would be to see that happen. That's a work of the Holy Ghost.

Right. And everyone is on a different part of their journey since Acts 2:38. Some further than others.
