If You Have To Wear Make Up To Be Rejected...

[Luke]

I agree that hoiness is an inward work in that nothing you or I or do not do makes us holy. We are made holy by the blood of Jesus through faith at the point of entire sanctification when our hearts are purified and our carnal nature is removed. This is holiness to be separate from all sin. Not from sinners but from inward sin and practiced sin. Standards are not holiness but righteousness. However I do believe that we should preach on standards just as we should preach on any other bible doctrine. Standards should not be our only message and I would not even say it should be our dominate message. Rather we should preach freedom form the bondage of sin. True holiness in not bondage it is freedom.
