Also what you so greatly provided about grace shows that God will give grace to many different people. The agrument at hand is if God gives grace to those that do not follow a dress code. He gives grace to the Humble, which says nothing about dress standards.
You are trying to draw a line that says those that do not follow a dress standard can not love God, be humble, show mercy, we are not "lowly", and can not walk uprightly. These are alll very very wrong.
You put the verse in II Corinthians 6:17-18 that tells to not touch any unclean thing and separate ourselves from "them." Separate yourself to God not stick out like a sore thumb. It is childish to think that God has become some type of task master and says, "you gotta look a certain way, dress, etc." If God wanted for all of us to be cookie cutter pentecostal christians then why did he makes us so different? |

I was using dress standards as point of referance to argue my point of Grace and Mercy. I was not meaning to make it seem I was pointing a finger at you about the dress code. My mistake, did not explain the reason I brought it up. Most people that say grace and mercy is conditional often point to dress standards though. It was a great post though, kudos.

I haven't seen anyone on this thread say anything you claim about grace and mercy being extended to those who follow dress standards.
You also accused Roxanne of bringing it up then claim you weren't pointing a finger at her about it.
Are your eyes on straight? LOL!
