I believe I saw somewhere on another Apostolic-aimed page that said their was a "new wave" of theology that specifically taught that "long hair" didn't necessarily mean "uncut hair". Therefore, a lady can cut (or "trim") her hair as long as it is still "long".
But what is "long"?
Wouldn't some form of "rule" have to be employed so the women would know what the pastor, or God for that matter, considered "long"?
Has anyone else come across anything similar?
Just wondering...

Good morning Bro. Flame.
Many of the Apostolic women I encountered, before and after, did trim their hair. I have always held that long hair did not necessarily mean uncut, and this the whole issue of
1Corinthians 11 is more of order and submission than just hair.
I'm no expert, but I have known some women who have hair who did not live in order or submission to their husband. They would even be on borderline witchcraft, threatening to pray for God to "get them" when people did not bow to their will. They, in my thoughts, violated their hair.
Just my thoughts on the subject. Have a great day.
