For some, it is like asking to make a decision between friends and God. Yet, is there a way to maintain both?
Nevertheless, to what extent can someone's lack of any standards retard one's friendship with one another in Christ, or, one's adherence to too many standards?
What scripture do we have to deal with such a dilemma?

Who's telling you not to keep your standards? I don't base my friendships with other apostolics on standards. There was a time I did, and I found out it was because I had a rotten attitude and thought I was better than other people. I'm not trying to sound like MLK, but something he said makes a lot of sense. He prayed for the day when men are judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Well, what's wrong with judging someone by the content of their character and not their adherance to dress standards? Wearing or not wearing pants (for a woman) does not make the person a good or bad person. Bearded or clean shaven does not determine if someone is a good person or not either.
