I personally was acquainted with the Goss's.
I well remember him sitting across the kitchen table
from me in our home on 512 West Grove Street
in Mishawaka Indiana -


Bishop Howard A Goss was a huge bear of a man,
well educated, former football player, and the
First General Superintendent Of The Assembles
Of God,
then PCI
and later the First G S of the UPC.

At The Great Conferance at Jackson Tennessee
{during the mid Teens} Approximately 45% of the
Ministers In The Assemblies Of God Embraced The
New Issue Doctrine and were subsequently Re-Baptized
In JESUS Name at tat time thus dealing a crushing blow
to that Organization.

Bishop Howard A Goss Was One Of The Ministers That
Accepted The Revelation Of The Godhead without Question.

During The Teens, Twenties, and the Thirties
The Churches in the Holiness Movements were as follows;

# 1 - Pentecostal Churches of the Apostolic Faith
# 2 - Pentecostal Churches of Jesus Christ
# 3 - Church of God
# 4 - Churches of The Lord Jesus Christ
# 5 - Pentecostal Church of God
# 6 - Pentecostal Holiness
# 7 - Pentecostal Church Incorporated
# 8 - Assemblies of God
# 9 - Church of Jesus Christ
# 10 - Conregational Holiness
# 11 - Wesllyan Holiness
# 12 - Nazerine

* Please note -
I have listed them in the order of their strictness
on outward holiness -
The PCI came out of the Assemblies of GOD and
their stand on outward Holiness was similar.

I well remember the Churches in Tennessee, Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia were lookalikes with the Assemblies
of God in outward dress such as
trimmed hair, bangs, cap sleeves, short sleeves, Rings,
modest necklaces, HAIR CLIPS, HAIR STICKS, HAIR BARRETTES
and BROACHES.

After Bishop Arthur T Morgan, of the PAJC backgrown,
became the Superindendent of the UPC a stricter outward
standard of Outward Dress began to be stressed.

The First Jewelry Sermon may have been Preached By Elder
Carl Ballestero during The Great San Antonio UPCI Conference
in the mid Sixties -

You will still find Short Sleeves,
Rings,
Pins,
Hair Sticks,
Jeweled Hair Barretts
and Broaches
in the UPCI Churches
Of The PCI Decent -

Totally untrue. My great grand parents came into this truth isn't the early 20's and they said that they always heard jewelry preached against.
