Larryboy is not too bad, though he had a tendency to question EVERYTHING including the word of God....not sure if he was just playing Devils Advocate or what...

1. Are holiness standards preached as salvation/heaven or hell issues?
2. Are women who adhere more strictly to the "look" judged to be on a higher spiritual plane than those who conform less strictly?
3. Are women who just never seem to "measure up" demeaned from the pulpit or by other women? (of course these "holier" women are simply showing concern for the spiritual well-being of those who are less "holy").
4. Once a woman decides to attend another Apostolic-based church where the standard is less stringent, are they accused of going charismatic, or of having less love for Jesus Christ, or of being weak spiritually?
1. Are holiness standards preached as salvation/heaven or hell issues?
Nobody answered because this is an old topic and the answer is rather obvious. Are cows brown? yes. What does this have to do with the topic though?

Yes, but so are men. Again how is this relevant to the topic?

Again yes, but this applies to men too. So again the line of questions seem irrelevant and rehashed, so that is probably who nobody answers

Often and so are men...see above for the rest of my point

__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
