I don't think just because a woman has long hair she is saved...believe me I know plenty of women that have long hair and they are as wicked as the devil.
But just don't be so hasty to run us down that do have long hair and love it.
Yes it is a pain at times.
Yes at times I have made threats to cut it above my ears.
But out of respect for my husband and my God...I keep it long.

Regionally, it may vary, but overall? I think your stats are pretty accurate.

I don't know anyone who thinks they are saved just "because they do not cut their hair." But I do know quite a few who think you are lost if you do cut it.

What was the question again?

First if they feel those who cut their hair are lost.

Then they know they can't be saved unless they do not cut their hair.

What is the Eternal outcome of a lady who once went to a church where the mandate was do not cut your hair or else.

Now she attends a church and that is not an issue to cut your hair.

There are many who attend the same church with the same pastor.

What is their eternal outcome?

Someone have the courage to share the answer not the argument...

If there was no perceived "threat" would you still have the respect?

Her eternal outcome? In the first church, it could be pointed out that a lack of submission to authority could affect her eternal outcome, were she to cut her hair.

In the second situation, from her perspective, it would depend on whether she has a conviction about cutting her hair or if she has made a commitment to God regarding that particular issue. In my opinion, you should never violate your own convictions, regardless of what your church teaches--or doesn't teach. Ultimately, what I have committed or promised God is more important than what someone gives me permission to do.

If she has no conviction against cutting hair, then I don't see how it would affect her eternal outcome any differently than when she was in the first church, being obedient to leadership but still not holding that conviction for herself.

I am honest enough to let folks know who I am...

I should try a screen name like .... Holier4u.

And see how folks respond to my alter UltraCon personality of the 1980's and 1990's.

I would say most women that have long hair have a good prayer life too. So your earlier comment about prayer and long hair wasn't very nice.

I don't feel having long hair and wanting long hair has a threat to it.
My husband LOVES my long hair.

I was quoting, Lee J Edwards a former UPCI district Superintendant.

He was not one who left the UPC.

So there you have it....

His wife also commented.

If I get to heaven and this hair mess was not an issue you boys in the UPCi will have to answer to me and many other woman in our movement...

See I love long hair as well.

It is the notion that the hair is uncut.

It's the folks in church putting others in hell that is a threat to the church.

Not the fear of wear God will put us.

Even if we live a socalled perfect life.

We should plead God's mercy....

The real threat is people themselves. They will be putting themself in hell for not obeying what God has put in His Word for us to follow
