"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."

Heck I AM ONENESS and I cant find a Church worth going to!
By the way, who is Marty?

Michael, I am also oneness and have lived in several cities since I left UPC. I also have yet to find a oneness church that does not follow after such traditions of men or if it doesn't - then goes of the map with the craziness of the charismatics.
What church do you go to?

Well I hate to say it but I don't attend a local Church. I do believe in the local Church and was an Elder/Pastor for 13 years. For over 10 years until recently I met as a teacher with a group on a voice active chat program Palktalk.com
Last year we did try a local UPC Church. Same old "standards". Added together with pre trib rapture and no vision I could not do it.
I visited an Assembly Of God Church about a month ago on the basis they teach the post trib rapture. Don't see much future for a dogmatic Oneness Pentecostal there! Nonetheless I may visit there occasionally to have something to do.
I am still meeting with various groups of believers on Paltalk. It is there that I have ministered to far more people than anywhere else.
I yet have hope that before I die I will find a solid New Testament Church. How are you making it?

Re: Marty Ballestero doesn't LIKE facial hair on m
I can give names of current licensed and ordained UPC preachers who believe and preach this same stuff. And while they will tell you the Bible doesn't actually speak negatively about facial hair on men, they still say it is associated with rebellion, worldliness, and thus a focus for 'true apostolic preachers' to keep worldliness out of the church.

Now and then you hear about Oneness groups that are ok with beards. Usually turns out as long as you stay off the "platform".

do you have any scripture for that? 
Seriously though, the facial hair police in churches is ludicrous. Is he going to freak out when he gets to heaven and sees bearded men?

I have tried several options. Over 5 years ago I attended an AOG church that often had spirit baptisms and had a really good men's Sunday school class. I told the assistant pastor that I was oneness and they put me on the black list. After that they were very guarded. I have many young kids, so I want them to have Sunday school interaction. Thus, we go to a large non denominational church, but I am not actively involved.
