I did conform though ...... it was never an issue for me. Standards were easy and not a huge yoke or pressure as far as I was concerned.
I have never encouraged anybody to let go of standards because they represent holiness and salvation to some people. To others it might be that to an extent but more an issue of consecration, submission and yielding both to the Word, to the conviction of the Holy Ghost as well as to the authorities in their life.
