DS stays in the bible and I think he lets the Bible speak for itself and doesn't necessarily take certain positions just because everyone else does.

EDIT: I JUST CAME BACK TO THIS THREAD AND REALIZED THAT WHEN I MADE THE POST BELOW I INCORRECTLY THOUGHT WE WERE DISCUSSING DB, NOT DS. I HAVE NOT READ ANY DS BOOKS. PLEASE DISREGARD THE POST BELOW.
Hmmmm....I might have to disagree with your last statement. I remember several decades ago when he first published his book on "holiness" thinking that he was way too smart for some of the applications he extrapolated in that book.
The only thing he actually stood up for as not making sense was facial hair on men. Even then he justified the historical ban on it by connecting it to the hippie culture / rebellion. I was proud he indicated it really didn't apply today.

"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."
