Anyway, so the town you live in ONLY has apostolic/pentecostal/ churches? No baptist, JW's, etc etc.? Do you believe every church in your town is annointed ? Preaches the biblical truths ?
I'm not one who believes the UPC or any other org holds the copyright to salvation, but I'm not ignorant enough to believe everyone is saved in their own little religious world regardless of what their beliefs are either.

number one we are talking about standards, and any repsonse to defend any type of legalism is lame.
Personal standards i have no issue, but when standards are preached from the pullpit and it becomes the measure of a persons rightousness, it has to go.
second i belive God will save people out of all different denominations.
oneness, trinitarian, Jw catholic etc,
acts 2:38 message was based around the prophecy of Joel, which Joel stated whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Majority of churches including Jw, baptize,
while i agree no specific denominations holds the copyright of salvation. it isnt up to us to condem people to hell or say they are saved or not saved.
Clearly jesus said you will know them by their fruit.
also i wanna know who does more evangelizing than a jw?
Also why does allowing people to dress themselves instead of a dress code make them like any other church? does your mother still pick your clothes out for you or do you know make your own choice.
Its the same with the church, Modesty is not a code, Holiness is not a define outlook of what one should or should not wear. Holiness is seperation.
while there is nothing wrong with dress, it is the Spirit of God and your attitude that seperates you from this world, Sinners can dress just like any apostolic.
