How Were You Treated When Becoming Conservative?
Just to keep some balance...
How were you treated when you started dressing conservative? When you started keeping outward standards - how did your Christian friends receive you and your new convictions? Did they respect you or belittle and openly dispute your convictions?
Was there room for you in their circle of friends if you did not judge all by latest fashion? When you wore more than Speedos and pasties at the beach did they label you a prude?
Perhaps more importantly - how did it effect you? Did it make you self righteous? Or did it cause you to seek out the issues and pray for any who were offensive?

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
