All these theories of how we recognize officials in the way they dress are not biblical reasons for modesty.
Let's just leave it as the need for modesty and that is ALL. That way, we will not get into error. I truly believe that if we propose standards of dress as indicators of who is saved or not, MANY WILL GET INTO LEGALISM and make it their salvation. And many have. It's bound to happen. But when you leave it as an issue of modesty alone, and propose the fruit of the Spirit ALONE indicates who is saved, the error is avoided. Let's emphasize everything exactly the way the bible did, and that includes NOT saying clothing tells the world who we are.
