I'm only asking because we continually teach on modesty and encourage modesty, allowing individuals to ultimately chose to what level of consecration they feel the Spirit leading them to. We don't enforce any spiritual discipline on women who continue to wear pants.

However, if one continued in what we believe is an abomination, our elders would have to address it lovingly, but sternly. The ultimate course of action would be to shun the one in continued abomination. Since we're a house church, they'd be asked not to attend until they felt a desire to lay down the sin and serve the Lord. They would also be warned of God's judgement upon continued sin. Any amount of remorse and repentance would be met with loving restoration.

So, would you say that you and I approach the issue of ladies in pants similarly, even though you believe Deuteronomy 22:5 describes them as an abomination?

your church shuns people for lying?
