If I were you or CC1 I'd have responded with, "Jesus loves you too even though you're a jerk, a judge and just plain rude." If it were me I'd have said something far worse than that.  |
I love this advice and wish I had been quick enough on my feet to have thought of this. However I was out on a beautiful evening with a friend to enjoy a football game so I just kept on walking shaking my head in wonder at the ignorance.
I also think Ferd's advice was good in that I could have turned the tables on them and gone all UPC and demanded to know if they had been baptized in Jesus name and spoke in tongues. Then if they said now I could have loudly condemned them to hell.

"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."
