I believe pants on a woman are for sure a sin....I'm not opening this up to be a questions of standards...I am using this for an example and not for this to lead to a thread hijacking...... there are others threads to discuss the pants issue

Good question...

Anybody?

Holiness is something we "perfect" shacking up is still against God's moral laws and is still considered "Sin."

Sorry D4T no valid comparison here.

Lol....brother, most churches don't need a manual, as they have a 'self appointed' pharisee that is more than happy to 'clean the fish' before they ever get into the water. Lord, help us show some wisdom in these last days.

The people asked Peter what must they do to be saved.... Now I now there is more to it, but his response was one that we are all familiar with...
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you for the remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of HolyGhost"

They weren't going to be saved until they did what was commanded... when that is done, when you are baptized and you are filled with HolyGhost, then you are going to want to make that turn around. We can't do it on our own.
When I am dirty, I don't mind getting into more dirt...But after i've had my shower, then I'm not going back out in the mud.... that's just the way I see it...I'm sure there are some loopholes in what I said!

Deu 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

again, this is not to argue standards your interpretation of scripture...But the bible says that women wearing man's garments , that it is an abomination... I think it is a valid comparison....

He was told "baptism remits sin... but sin revokes baptism" and that he was refused the baptism until he and his girlfriend seperated housing or got married.

Your thoughts?

I think it is pretty sad, but I have seen a pastor take the couple, marry them in his office, quick-like so one or both can get baptized.

What if they have been living together for years and have children?
Common law marriage .

Common-law marriage (or common law marriage), sometimes called informal marriage or marriage by habit and repute is, historically, a form of interpersonal status in which a man and a woman are legally married. The term is often mistakenly understood to indicate an interpersonal relationship that is not recognized in law. In fact, a common law marriage is just as legally binding as a statutory or ceremonial marriage in some jurisdictions — it is just formed differently.

The scripture states "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" later on it states let us make man in our image. That is why refusing this guy baptism is absurd.
