You are correct, sir. There Is too much emphasis among some regarding "standards". Even Jesus addressed that problem.
And, your other statement i(in bold) s also true. However I don't think I have ever seen a person professing to be a Christian, let alone an Apostolic/Pentecostal Christian, with NO STANDARDS. True, some adhere to stricter standards than others, but they all have some degree of standards.
Keeping standards doesn't save us. He does.
