Aren't their verses to back up the notion of consecrating oneself to get closer to God?
Again, to equate any specific church's "standards" with salvation is, "another gospel", but a person can't be out of the Bible living by them?
Are you suggesting that a person would be out of the Bible deciding to live by some established "standards" in order to be closer to God?

Read my post again. I did not say any of the things you mentin. I merely stated I was interested in seeing how your idea works out that not wearing shorts is going to make you closer to God. I don't see any Bible for that happening either directly or extrapolated from principles but that does not mean it is not going to happen for you. That is why I said keep us posted and let us know how that works out!

"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."
