It is also VERY clear in the bible that God does not want his children to adorn themselves with jewels. As far as women wearing pants goes well we all know that the bible does not say that women shold not wear them, but it does teach us to live holy. Many people think they should wear dresses so why not let them wear them if they feel like they should. Just my opinion, no need for you to be harsh.

kute1, welcome to AFF. There is a wide spectrum of Apostolic / Pentecostal views on here and you will find that many, including myself, believe you are mistaken that the bible prohibits a woman from cutting her hair or wearing jewelry. However you will all find traditional clothes line Pentecostals who will amen you 100%.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
