Are there any conservative PCI believers out there?

[Felicity]

I consider myself conservative.

[Truly Blessed]

I don't consider myself PAJC or PCI. I am simply a Bible believing Pentecostal. The liberal or conservative tags are relative terms that others tend to tag others with. I tend to emphasize the teachings of Jesus and the Apostle Paul, so I suppose that makes me a liberal in the eyes of some.

Liberal as in bountiful, generous, openhearted, openhanded, giving, charitable, magnamious, bighearted, ungrudging, unselfish, fair, unprejudiced, tolerant?!

Would that we could all be such labeled, Elder...

I know some.

I also know some trinity pentecostal that do.

I agree. My own father-in-the-gospel was from the PCI tradition and they all were considered "very strong" on standards.

His wife's family was PCI/PAW and some of the women wore slacks when doing out of doors things like hiking, etc. She changed (at least outwardly) sometime in the late 1950's or early 1960's and hasn't looked back.

Today they have a reputation for being in the "ultra" crowd when it comes to standards, - but still from the PCI tradition on theological matters.

I am wondering why you are asking, but will be polite and answer.

BOOMM, you must first recognize that this is not written in tablets of stone and is JUST my opinion.

The items listed as being the conservative stand are just one man's opinion of the conservative view.

For example, when I first signed onto FCF, after understanding folks were being labeled, I considered myself an utra con, not realizing what many under that banner believed.

So I said that I must be conservative, until the day that CC1 informed me I was NOT conservative because we had television (it is something that has not been taught against in our church from day one). When CC said that, I cried like a new born baby..."How could he say such a thing?!"

But he was right...I am not a con...I am a mod, IMO...

Anyway, I have gone the long way around to answer your question...

1. No TV

As I said, we have always had TV

2. No Make up

I do not wear makeup, but I do not ........ those to yon lower regions who do

3. No Jewelry (including wedding rings)

I wear a watch and do not wear jewelry, but do not condemn those who do

4. No Pants on ladies, or skirts on men

I do not wear pants, but do not condemn others

5. No splits in skirts

There are splits that are convenient/necessary as in a kick split. A split that is immodestly up the thigh...no I do not

6. Long Sleeved shirts (at least 3/4 length)

No I do not wear long sleeves 24/7

7. Uncut hair for women, short cut hair on men.

I do not cut my hair, but will not condemn those who do

8. No Facial hair on men or women

This one is funny...no I do not have a beard!! I do not see Scripture for it being wrong for a man to have facial hair

So no...I am not conservative by this list here, though the dictionary lists moderate as a meaning for conservative...interesting.
