Why lip gloss? What is the purpose but to make one more appealing to those with improper intentions? And why cover "zits"? If someone has a pimple they have a pimple. So what? Does pride take over and make us hide?
And if an activity is indecent in a skirt, do something else. That's the apostolic heritage I'm talking about. There once was a generation that didn't care what it cost to follow Jesus. I want to see that happen again!

Why judge others as to what the do? Is that any better than someone that covers an ugly zit? Do you comb your hair? Do you bathe? Shave? Shampoo or use soap? Aftershave? There once was a generation that made it as hard as possible to follow God. Then Jesus came and delivered us from the Law..then came a generation that tried to burden people with rules as silly as not covering a zit

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
- There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
- The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
- Every sinner must repent of their sins.
- That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
- That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
- The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
