Deut.4

[2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

That means we shouldn't add anything to the Word of God, just as it says.

Where in scripture is holiness equated with an outward dress code?

Consider this scripture as a great model for how the Apostle Paul taught holiness. Not one mention of clothing. But far more serious... heart issues. The Apostle Paul taught holiness in this passage quite clearly. No clothesline message.

Heart issues. Holiness is a matter of the heart. God doesn't wear clothing. He is a Spirit. In order to be holy even as He is holy, it is our heart that must align with His.

Ephesians 4:22-32
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27 Neither give place to the devil.
28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

[KeptByTheWord]

We need to stop equating holiness with modesty.

Modesty needs to be preached, I agree. Some people have no concept of modesty at all. BUT MODESTY IS NOT HOLINESS.

Modesty will be a fruit of holiness of the heart, without doubt. But the two issues are separate. Teach holiness of heart, and modesty as a principle of living.

The cart has been before the horse for too long.

So "Charismatic" equates to evil and "Apostolic" to righteousness?

Charismatic refers to a movement. A movement which has certain spiritual attributes. The writer is concerned about many of those spiritual attributes infiltrating Oneness Pentecost. In some case, many cases, taking over various areas of oneness Pentecost. Unfortunately much of the Apostolic world is not close enough to God to discern the spirits infiltrating.
