"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
"Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble." Psalm 119:165, NIV
Don't be so troubled by what others do. It's a waste of time.

Amen. It also, tends to blind us from much good that is done in Jesus name. I wholly have come to realize my measuring stick can be off.

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
This clip is from the documentary Furious Love. Powerful piece about taking Jesus to the people. Former upci member Gregory Boyd makes an appearance in the clip.
I have never heard anyone say it was a sin to wear short sleeve clothing.
I have been in churches who do ask their members to not wear it.
The practical reason given is that with some short sleeves on females you can see more than you wish if they raise their arms.
Which is true.
