Re: Holiness Standards
There was a holiness movement way before the UPCI but they were trinitarians.
As far as the uncut hair I wont say the book of acts but i will say the book of Corinthians.
If you take a look back into secular history about the pants you will rarely find women in them before the war effort of WW1 and WW2 because the women were working in factories and such, before this it was never excepted in society or the churches. however the church hasn't let go of its conviction against it thankfully.
makeup, its difficult to answer without referring to the scripture but the seductive women of the scriptures wore makeup to beautify their appearance to seduce men into prostitution fornication. Its all about making the flesh more appealing to the opposite sex.
many of the early UPCI folks came from holiness churches and didn't lose the holiness standards "because they were right".
Jewelry not sure when the modern church started preaching against it but the are scriptural references that teach against it.
sleeve lengths, too many views to even start. I only have my opinion.
probably not what your looking for but Its been a while since Iv'e read early pentecostal history.
