No jewelry whatsoever, it's all sin?

At least a wedding band, but all else is sin?

Women must wear dresses to their ankles. Anything else is sin?

Women can wear dresses and skirts to below their knees, but no slits as that is sin?

Facial hair on men is sin.?

Facial hair is ok on men, not a sin?

Men must have hair above the collar, any lower and they are sinning.?

Shorts of any length is sin?

Tithing is a must. To not tithe you sin?

No TV watching at all, it's sin?

You can't even own a video machine no TV, no VCR and no DVD player, it's sin?

No internet, it's a sin?

Music must be at least 30 years old, no new fangled stuff or it's sin.

What ever your pastor teaches or says you must obey, even if you disagree, otherwise you are sinning?

Add more here if you like. I just want to see if all those that claim they are conservatives but others here are not, believe the same. What really makes someone a conservative?
In answer to these arcane questions, proffered to stir up strife and serve rather to identify the spirit of the author rather than impugn the heartfelt stands of separation from the world handed down by Apostolic/Pentecostal elders and derived from wholly holy consecrated lives and students of scriptural injunctions and their enactment by virtue of command and principle - to reduce the command of separation to a mere list for specious perusal by un-wholly spectators is an injustice of the highest sort by those who wrest the scriptures to their own destruction.

I think this is the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen, and I really don't understand what you are trying to say.

Could you break it down a bit for those of us who do not share your astute grasp of the purloined?

If you read it with one of those stuffy British accents, it flows much better.

Re: What makes YOU a Conservative Apostolic?

Haven't read the thread. Don't intend to but I'll just answer the initial question simply and succinctly.

What makes me feel as if I can own the label "conservative" is that I believe in living according to what the Word of God teaches.
