Good point. I guess I will have to wait for a three stepper conservative theologian to weigh in on this. I know many believe there are "counterfeit tongues" to explain away how God would give the baptism of the Holy Spirit to people who don't live up to their dress code or who don't see Oneness doctrine.
Perhaps these same folks will believe that if you are baptized in Jesus name it doesn't count unless you believe it is regenerating you. Hmmmmm......

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."
