I always leave open the possibility that I am wrong, and I feel it has done me good. There are some things that I highly doubt I am wrong about, ie. the oneness of GOD,
Acts 2:38 salvation, ect... and then there are things that I would be more willing to hear an opposing argument, on such things as holiness standards, church polity, eschatology, ect... There was a time when I believed a sister without uncut hair and a second covering on her head was risking either hell-fire, or some sort of punishment from GOD, while still being saved, and the men allowing this disorder were just as worthy of a punishment from GOD. However, time went on, I studied it further, and I saw that uncut hair was not required and that the second covering was a cultural reference Paul was making. I wasted a lot of time and energy arguing, debating and worried about people's souls. Do you believe it is possible that you are wrong about ANY of your holiness standards? Do you believe any are worth further study. Some standards I have not made absolute statements on, and I have considered for years, and the whole time I have not wasted energy worrying about the souls of those who follow their own interpretations of the Scripture and their standards, when I am not sure about every single standard and Scripture.
