It was amazing how easily we slipped into this role of relaxation, coming to church in jeans more then dress slacks, usually no tie."

These are total non issues. ehendrix, in my opinion, you want to beware of anyone making them a big deal.
Yep, makes God a very small Deity!!!

Hmmmm....let me see. You blast me for making a joking post in a serious discussion then you post this? Seems a bit of a double standard and I know how keen you are on "standards"!

"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."
