No, not at all. I apologize if my writing was not clear. Did it today while also working in my home office. I just meant what this church considers foundational doctrine is different from what old time Pentecostals do in the sense that for UPC etc pentecostals the three step salvation plan, uncut hair on women, no makeup, etc, etc are considered foundational doctrines. You took quite a leap to say that my church considers those people not Christian. I would say the opposite is actually true. We consider those three step folks brothers in Christ where most of them would not consider us that.

"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."
