You ultra cons certainly get your moneys worth out of your preachers. If they were paid by the hour they would all be millionaires. LOL.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
Honestly, when I see pictures like that and watch certain TV women preachers strut around on stage I have to lean towards no women preachers

LOL! I never said that you said that either, silly.
You said when you see pics like that, you have to lean toward no women preachers. You judged an entire gender based on a picture (and yes, I know you added about seeing TV women preachers also, but that is only part of why you made the statement you did).
I just wonder if it would be fair of me to see a pic of a male preacher in a pose that might be considered unmanly, then post that seeing that pic makes me lean toward no male preachers.
That wouldn't be a fair statement, would it?
Is 'strutting around on stage' something only men should do?
Why is it that men can foam at the mouth and be all sweaty when preaching, and we think women who do the same are acting 'manly', but we don't think men who are more the quiet type and have dry shirts on at the end of their sermon are acting 'womanly'?

I did not JUDGE anyone. That's not "judgement". And YES that sort of demeaner appears more masculine than feminine to me. That is my opinion.

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.
