does not the word say be ye seperate come out from among them.. If we are living for the true and living God we are a new creation put off the old man..
Yeah the Word says that but if you're a preacher then get them to pose with you. Then parade them in front of other Christians to show the other Christians just how Christ like you are. Then I guess it's worth it for the photogenic preacher...SMILE!

Are you implying that these folks are not new creatures?
Are you implying that Jesus Christ does not live in their hearts as the Holy Spirit?
Are you saying that these folks cannot be saved because of their appearance?
Are you saying that they should not go to these concerts and witness?
If Jesus looked so different from others, why did He have to be identified with a kiss?
Who is saying he looked different?

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945

I think that's the question asked to those who thought Jesus had blonde hair and blue eyes.

Those who proport that holiness is outward as in what we wear as well as inward. Of course, men are exempt....LOL!
In the context of this thread, it would be the gentleman in MOW's pic that would be "different".
I am not so sure ANY of us deny Christ's work on the inside of us shows through on the outside. It does absolutely - in word and deed.

I agree in what you say above, I just disagree that the work shows up more when we (speaking of women since men don't have specific items to wear that show their holiness) have a laundry list of things that show off the holiness we have.
Dressing modestly, absolutely. But the outward adorning isn't what catches the attention of those that look at us, but rather, it's the hidden man of the heart, and all manner of conversation.

Which is exactly why this guy's life is completely different from what it used to be. I'd put his Christianity next to anyone else's. He's got the real deal.
