I would have to say, it seems to me that the KEEPERS of the standards are the ones who do the most finger-pointing: "Thou art not holy unless...blah, blah, blah" ... not the other way around.
In other words, I seldom see people telling you to take your skirts off and wear jeans... or telling you to cut your hair ... or telling you to wear shorter sleeves... or telling you to put on makeup.
BUT...
I very OFTEN SEE brothers/sisters telling NON-KEEPERS of the standards that "they have fallen from full truth... they have started down that slippery slope... they are HELLBOUND etc. etc.
I don't care how my brother/sister dresses. (It's not my business.) I just wish the feeling was mutual.
If I was a pastor I certainly would have dress realated teaching and platform enforcement. Tank tops and mini skirts... I don't think so...
Please don't say no one would ever dress like that for church - they do.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
You know anything that I have said, is just referencing my experience and is not to be taken like a personal slam against what anyone else is doing, I think others are expressing the same--and it's being taken a little too personal by some
