David Bernard's 2008 "Holiness & Culture" Paper
http://www.ugst.org/uploaded/Symposi...re_Bernard.pdf
“We must be willing to examine and evaluate modern Pentecostals traditions and practices as follows:
(1) If they are contrary to the Bible, we must discard or modify them as needed.
(2) If they are compatible with the Bible but not required by it, we must grant Christian liberty according to the teachings of Romans 14.
(3) If they are appropriate expressions and applications of biblical teaching—whether specific statements of Scripture or valid implementations of scriptural principles—we must uphold them regardless of the shifting opinions of modern culture, philosophy, and theology.
(4) Finally, if we are lacking in our adherence to biblical teaching, we must be willing to conform our thought and conduct to the Word of God.”
From David Bernard's 2008 UGST symposium paper, "Holiness and Culture."
