Bro. Rutledge, I believe in holiness, and the central apostolic doctrine. The problem isn't women cutting hair (I think a woman should have long hair-even if they keep it trimmed), or wearing pants (though I believe dresses to be the most redically femine garment in our society, thus it is best for women to wear them). However these issues don't necessarily define an apostolic or holiness.
I was an ultra, ultra con. I am much more moderate now. Jesus is more interested in saving people, than saving them (
Acts 2:38), only to condemn them to hell for trimming their split ends, or wearing a pair of pants.
Here is the problem with ultra cons, when your views (not necessarily yours Bro. Rutledge, but those ultra con views in general)-are challenged, they cannot be backed up with sound scriptural arguments in some cases.
Any view should have solid biblical basis, or should be abandoned in favor of one that does.
PS-I do still believe and preach One God,
Acts 2:38, holiness, and biblical Christianity.
