The United States' Christianity is burning wreckage. But alas, I must say it is well deserved.

Same sex marriage is acceptable on so many levels, yet Ex-UPC is still whining about standards, and Acts 2:38. Legalists??? Because long sleeves, long dresses, uncut hair? Seriously? Yet, the youth of the United States are circling the drain at a rapid rate? Oh they have a dress code alright, it isn't some dirty hippy look, but it's a look, and it's a standard.



No inference, the conservative just looks at the conclusion. The Ex-UPCer just believes in a unisex congregation. As time goes on you guys will all look the same. Instead of old MeMaws looking old, you will have MeMaws who no longer even look like MeMaws. But look like old women dressed like either old men or teenagers heading for Spring Break.




No, it doesn't make a conservative feel anything other than sadness on how this country and her culture is lost as a goose in a windstorm. It's bad man, when the youth look like Anime. Yet, the liberal preachers think it's awesome just as long as a the youth's Death Metal band has Jesus in its lyrics?

Yeah, Goth, Emo, Scene, and Metal Pentecost!

We are free from legalism???

They have a standard, but this one will be incorporated into the Industrial Church Complex.



One step? Right into a pit?

Sad.
A typically overblown reaction. Apparently you think anything that is not buns, no makeup, no jewelry is accepting homosexuality, immorality, etc, etc. Nothing could be further from the truth in the case of my church anyway.

Your post reminds me of the ultra con method of arguing against makeup years ago by posting pics of Tammy Faye Bakker and Jan Crouch as if that was the only way makeup could be used.

Nice try but no prize for you. I did expect a knee jerk typical reaction and you fulfilled my expectation.

"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."
