I thought it would be appropriate to post this quote here. I have found this to be true. I have pictures of my mother from seventy plus years ago. She was oneness Apostolic. And she had cut hair and earrings. And she wasn’t “liberal” by any means.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
