The term is usually used in a lighthearted joking way but not taken that way. Probably the term I have seen draw the most ire from old time Pentecostals who believe it is said with hate, bitterness, etc, etc ad nauseam.

Lighthearted when they do it, bad spirited when the conservative does it.
The United States' Christianity is burning wreckage. But alas, I must say it is well deserved. The Pendulum swings so wildly, back and forth, goth, emo, scene, young people experimenting with homosexuality, and transgenderism. Bathrooms and locker rooms become unisex. Same sex marriage is acceptable on so many levels, yet Ex-UPC is still whining about standards, and
Acts 2:38. Legalists??? Because long sleeves, long dresses, uncut hair? Seriously? Yet, the youth of the United States are circling the drain at a rapid rate? Oh they have a dress code alright, it isn't some dirty hippy look, but it's a look, and it's a standard.

No inference, the conservative just looks at the conclusion. The Ex-UPCer just believes in a unisex congregation. As time goes on you guys will all look the same. Instead of old MeMaws looking old, you will have MeMaws who no longer even look like MeMaws. But look like old women dressed like either old men or teenagers heading for Spring Break.

No, it doesn't make a conservative feel anything other than sadness on how this country and her culture is lost as a goose in a windstorm. It's bad man, when the youth look like Anime. Yet, the liberal preachers think it's awesome just as long as a the youth's Death Metal band has Jesus in its lyrics?
Yeah, Goth, Emo, Scene, and Metal Pentecost!
We are free from legalism???
They have a standard, but this one will be incorporated into the Industrial Church Complex.
One step? Right into a pit?
Sad.
