I posted under the assumption the original post was asking what to do if he/she wears them and wants to be in leadership

Well, you may be correct. My response was due to his nature of refuting the things that are minute but preached as heaven/hell issues. So, for him to ask about whether or not to remove earrings to take a leadership position in church lead me to believe he wanted others' responses, even though he might decide to go ahead and wear them anyway...whether at church or otherwise.
Just my thoughts...

Exactly, that's why I responded the way I did.
had he asked "is it wrong to wear jewelry", my answer would be different

Re: remove earrings
I'll never forget the night my Grandma received the Holy Ghost. When she got up off the floor both of her earrings were gone. She had the back to one but we could find nothing else. I looked all over the floor where she had been and couldnt find them. She never put earrings back in her ears after that night. Yes, i believe it's a sin for God's people to wear jewelry today. But, my words nor the words of others here are going to convince you of that anymore than you are going to convince us that it's ok. I think you should pray about it and get a "real answer" from Jesus. And then validate it by His Word. (-:

Re: remove earrings
I should also ask...is this about a "leadership position" or doing a work for God? If something in your life is hindering you from doing a work for God, then it deffinitely needs to go!

Define "a work for God" and how earrings keeps someone from doing "a work for God"
