Visited a non UPC church

[Jay]

I know of many ministers who do not approve of the wedding ring, or any other jewelry including the broach or lapel pin. They are just as plentiful as preachers who preach against splits, low necklines, high hemlines, and non-existant sleeves.

My father was raised with rings being excepted (it is one of those things that some do and some do not). I do know that I have seen pictures of Oneness Pentecostal ladies from the 20s-present that did not cut their hair, wear pants, shunned jewelry, etc. It is a simple fact that most had no problems with the holiness standard, dispite what some authors have wished to claim over the years.

I was raised in Pentecost, and my mother has a picture of my great-great-great grandmother with uncut hair, and wearing a long dress. She died in the 1960s. As far as I know, she never once cut her hair, wore make-up, jewelry, pants, or any of that other stuff people like to endorse today.

Oh, she was not UPCI either. She belonged to the AOG as I recall.
