I'm sorry you feel this is a silly question. And I think that you are incorrect by calling the Amish "cultural extreme from some christian sect". They were around long before the Pentecostal movement came into existence.
The point is Ferd, that what one deems worldly, another does not. What one deems to be proper attire, another does not.
So while you may think it is silly,
there are people out there who honestly feel like they have prayed about their clothes and do not feel that what they wear is indecent. Yet, you got preachers out there condemning others over what they wear and say that they are "separate" from the world. So...I want to know what "separate" means to individuals.
The Amish may feel that their clothing is what everybody should wear...even for Oneness pentecostals. They may consider what you wear to be, well while not indecent...but excessive cost. They might consider what Oneness pentecostal women wear to be indecent. Would you wear what the Amish men wear? Would you go to church without shaving? That is custom in the Amish community.
You all are the ones who want to say you are separate from the world but are you really separate?
And since UPC claims to interpret the Bible clothes "mandate" what would make their interpretation of biblical mandate any more supreme than the Amish?
Why is it that some will stand up and preach what others ought to do, but when we want delve into what is considered to be separate from the world, you say we ought to get down on our knees and pray about it and not answer? Double talk is all that is.
