Re: Earrings? Why not? God piereces ears!
I always find it amusing to hear old time Pentecostal preachers preach about the Prodigal son coming home and the father giving him his ring when in the preachers own church any man wearing a ring would probably be condemmed. (and yes I know the significance of why the father gave the son the ring but it does not do away with the fact there was a ring to begin with and God had no problem with it despite the former RR's wild assertions that jewelry was cast down from heaven with the fallen angels).

"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."
