I think Paul would call the modern Apostolic Church a weak church because we rely on all of our rules... Paul would say that we need to exercise our freedom in God more...
Like I said before... the problem with what is in post one is that in post one it is assuming that the believer with standards is the strong one, when Paul is saying the exact opposite, that the believer without standards (rules/law) is actually stronger...

I see this too,
when conduct is greatly influenced by restrictions and rules. There is no indication however, that one who lives free from the rules would be much LESS modest than one who does.
