Do ministers have to wear suits to church?

What I have said (without knowing anything how you dress) is that "casual attire" can cause there to be "casual attitude" toward the things of God!

That is my point. It's not whether you are calling me liberal or not.

My point is that people make a judgement on others having a "casual attitude" toward the things of God based on if I have a suit/tie on.

In my opinion I feel it "can."
In your opinion it "won't."

Good question about the suit/tie issue. Do we have any biblical reference for Christians to 'dress up' before going to temple? Were we ever instructed as Christians to wear professional business type atire to church? Is this manner of dress written in to bylaws or AOF? Is this an unspoken requirement for UPCI preachers? Is it sin if they don't wear a suit/tie?
