And for the record...i dont believe I am close to God because of standards. I just wanna follow the Spirit...and my Bible tells me that when the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit will raise the standard. Not lower it.

Kleenex, I appreciate your good spirit and glad you are not taking offense at some good natured ribbing from someone who does not share you view. God Bless you!

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."
