Yes, the thread digressed some, like I figured it would.
I'm pretty certain the term "standards" was used because a standard is a flag, something that denotes who you are, whose team you belong to, what country you are from... that sort of thing. "Holiness Standards" obviously was meant to denote belonging to a Holy God...
I don't prefer the term myself, there are other terms that better describe the things I do or don't do.
However, I would be interested to know who or what group actually coined the term "Holiness Standard"... when it was first used. That would be interesting to know.
