Elder Epley:

I agree with the bolded statement wholeheartedly...he was stomping through territory where angels fear to tread...

I think it's totally appropriate to preach holiness at camp meetings, but not standards.

Well to some of us standards are included in holiness preaching.

That doesn't hurt however my opinion would be it would be great if you give the standards to the sheep you are the shepherd over- you will give an account for their soul- I have no issue with standards just think the shepherd should look after his own sheep and not shear someone elses

True!

I was noticing the other day that Christianity seems to be the only religion that I'm aware of that has modernized with the culture as far as clothing goes.

I haven´t read all the thread but in my opinion if we are preaching in someone else´s pulpit we should honor their standards and if ours is higher or lower I don´t think it should even be mentioned. I go places to try to be a blessing and not stir up trouble...of course I am a woman...however I think we should respect each other.

It has always bothered me when people come to our meetings and seem to have a spirit of how strick they are and then when you go to their church you wonder were did all that "standard" go?

I am not Brother Alvear but I personally do not appreciate someone coming to preach their personal convictions in our pulpit. If they see we believe in something or do not believe in something and they feel the same way then it is ok to mention it...but to go to a conference where there are dozens of opinions and many new saints from different folds I think the preacher should preach with wisdom and the fear of the Lord. God has more to say than something that will cause trouble and division.
I think sheep should be taught to listen to their pastor...
Something else at big meetings you have people at all levels spiritually what may help one might kill another...We must be careful to follow the leading of the spirit.
