The most credible evidence of maturity in any Pentecostal is stability. A stable, committed Christian has convictions and beliefs that never change, loyalties that never waver, no matter what group of peers they are with, and an allegiance to sound doctrine that never falters.
On the other hand, a double minded man vacillates according to the situation he is in. His beliefs change when change is beneficial. He wears different masks to suit the occasion. This is nothing short of hypocrisy. II Timothy 3: 5 "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." It is easy to see God despises duplicity of the heart and mind.
Are you a committed Christian? Are you true to your beliefs regardless of your surroundings? Do you live life with a singular purpose? Matthew 6:24 states that "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Today I encourage you to be a hero.
Be a person of integrity.
Do not waver.
Do not quit.
"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh unto you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded." James 4:8

While looking on the main page to see how many users were on I noticed where you had one of the most replied to threads. Having been impressed ny your numbers I clicked on the thread "Will women go to hell for wearing pants". I ,of course, voted no. As I read your original thread something caught my attention
"In time, I may change my stance further. But as long as I hold license with the UPCI I will not own a tv, the females in my family will not wear pants, and my boys will not wear shorts in public. That is simple submission, not personal conviction."
I'm not trying to start a fight but you have contradicted yourself haven't you?
