Ferd,
Bernards' first paragraph indicates he is speaking to all Oneness Apostlics:
Quote:

Most Christian movements have initially placed great emphasis on a lifestyle that is separate
from the world, teaching that believers should manifest holiness in attitudes, conduct, speech,
amusements, and dress. Practical teachings of this nature were prominent in ancient Christianity
of the first three centuries, medieval revival movements, the Protestant Reformation, the
Holiness movement, and the Pentecostal movement.2
Today, however, Oneness Pentecostals, or Apostolics, are one of the few groups to maintain
the importance of holiness in adornment, dress, and amusements. Other groups typically argue
that these teachings are outmoded or must be modified greatly because of changes in culture.
How relevant to the church today are biblical instructions? Should they be modified in light
of cultural changes?

The discussion goes beyond the org ... as HIS paper implicates ... and seeks to influence an entire movement.
Do you hold DB to the same litmus test ... I think not.
The discussion continues ... even if you think some are not qualified to engage in it.
