Holiness Standards

[aegsm76]

My great grandfather was a Methodist preacher before 1900. He then joined the AOG after the Holy Ghost outpouring in Topeka. He then was kicked out of the AOG, because of his adoption of the Mighty God in Jesus!
I never knew him, as he was dead before I was born, however, my grandfather, who was also a minister, said that "most" religions were holiness when he was a boy.
The main holiness issue when he started preaching was "bobbed" hair.

Most of secular society once adhered to what nowadays are called "holiness standards", though they just considered them "propriety" or "modesty". Not saying secular society was holy, or joined with the holiness movements of the day, but that what today people consider "strict holiness standards" were pretty much practiced by the bulk of society as a matter of common behaviour.
