Last night my pastor preached about holiness without giving real scripture. This is quite confusing because I am not versed in the matters of holiness and I do not know how to give answers concerning holiness without hemming and hawwing.

Anyway, my pastor goes on to say that if you believe the lie that charismatics believe you will end up in hell. Well, I was wondering , what if believing in the ideas of holiness as the UPCI puts it is a lie? Would that not send one to hell as well?

thoughts?

What is the lie Charismatics believe? If you are a UPC Minister Im surprised you were not trained in "standards". Holiness is the entire separation of ones life to the Lord Jesus Christ.

His "standard" is "Be perfect even as the Father in Heaven is perfect". Whatever is taught in the New Testament applies to the saints. A great part of Christian living is to be "pure in heart".

Heart issues are much more wrenching to deal with than dress issues. That does not mean there are no dress issues. Just stay with the New Testament. When they teach from the OT and it is accepted then to be consistent we would have to put ourselves under ANYTHING in the law of Moses.
