Kind of nuts huh? Yet I saw it growing up in old time Pentecost. In my case it was one way. I attended the "liberal" UPC church (this was in the mid 70's and this meant the pastor used hairspray and wore flared pants on occasion).
The young people from the conservative UPC church just outside our town would tell me at school (public high school) how horrible my church and pastor were and would eagerly rattle off all the things their pastor said against my pastor and church.
Of course this all stopped a few years later when their pastor ran off with the young daughter of one of the elders in his church.

"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."
