I've heard this tired old argument for years, and I don't buy it. What witness are you really being by just showing someone you dress differently? I've NEVER known of anyone repenting and being filled with the Holy Ghost based on seeing someone who "looks Pentecostal." It is our WORDS and our ACTIONS that are our testimony and our witness. People will only care about our message when they know that we care about them. And they're not going to know we care about them by how we dress. JAXFAM6 made the perfect point when he pointed out that Jesus didn't dress differently than the world around Him. The impact He made was based on what He DID - not what He wore.
