Re: Kim Davis
I have not read this thread but my two cents on Kim is that if you in good conscience can no longer do the job you are required to do by law then you need to quit. As opposed as I am to gay marriage and as much as I would love it to be overturned it has now gone to the highest court and been made law.
At this point I think Pentecostals should view it like working at Walmart. If you are a checker at Walmart you will be checking out people buying cigarettes and beer even though you may think it is a sin. Same thing with issuing a marriage license to a gay couple. Just know that despite their governmental standing it is not a marriage in Gods
mind.

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."
