I think probably the most common biblical standards are:
Short hair on men uncut on ladies. I know its been debated here often but its
bible.
Modesty. Also scriptural. I believe the pastor has a right here to decide what is modest and what is not.
Not wearing jewelry (including wedding rings). Also scriptural.
Avoiding certain worldly environments and amusements.
I dont know if i would refer to it as a standard but it is an expectation that my pastor has is that the members of our church would fast at least one day a week. I'm sure no one hear would debate the scriptural validity of fasting.
Thats brief and not really detailed. Maybe i'll post again later.
