I think I know what you mean but, to clarify, IF I were ever to baptize anyone, it would be in the Name of Jesus Christ.

However, I CANNOT tell someone anything or even imply anything to the effect of leading someone to believe that they are not saved until they speak in tongues-- known or unknown. The Bible simply doesn't say this and neither will I.

If this means that a woman should think it is a sin for her to get her split ends trimmed, then nope, I won't go along with that either. In fact, I don't believe it to be a sin for women to cut their hair unless their goal is to purposefully look like a man.

My conviction on this is based on the "IF it is a shame for a woman..." Just because it was shameful then doesn't mean it is automatically shameful now.

Jesus never condemned wine. St. Paul appears to have endorsed drinking, but drunkenness is definitely sinful.

Nope, won't go along with that either. Bambi isn't evil. Bambi isn't sinful. If a person wants to take up such a fast personally, I would encourage them to do so, but cannot teach a wholesale avoidance of Hollywood and technology as if it is a Biblical command because it isn't.

Another thing is the use of the word "avoided".

When establishing doctrine, why not speak in clear terms? Do or don't do and this is why should be the Christians should go about establishing how to live their lives to God's Honor.
