What Would You Say?
I had a good friend that moved from Nashville to Florida a few years ago. He is an anesthesiologist, and his family has been looking for a good Apostolic church. He was raised Apostolic and attended Christ Church while in Nashville.
He called me a few days ago and told me that they found an Apostolic church that runs about 300-400 people. The church is not UPC and from what he explained to me, is ultra-con.
They really enjoy the services, and his children are getting involved and have made some good friends there.
The problem is that his wife wears pants and see nothings wrong with it at all. He hopes that someone doesn't approach his wife about it, because she is very strong in her opinion about it! She wears dresses to church, but that is the only time she does. It hasn't become an issue yet, but he feels that soon it may be an issue. He called to ask what he should do!
What would you tell him?

He feels that it is inevitable that it will happen, and he wants advice how to be proactive or reactive.
I told him to chill!  They will probably not give his family a problem with just attending. He understands that they can never be used in leadership. He is OK with that...I think!

He believes the Acts 2:38 message, but doesn't believe in the holiness standards as salvational.
His wife is a precious lady, and is filled with the Holy Ghost. He is afraid that when she goes down to the alter with everyone else, someone will think she is under conviction. He just wants to enjoy the service and fellowship and let things be.

I think this is the best advice. I sure wouldn't borrow trouble.

The important thing is that I am sure they will accept his tithes even if they don't his wife!

Titus2woman on AFF
"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."

That much is probably true! I've been told by another friend who went to visit him, that he is living large!
