The funny thing is that this type of behaviour and belief is not a part of traditional old time Pentecostal uncut hair doctrine.
I think Elder Eplely and other ultra cons or cons who hold to the uncut hair doctrine but not the RR fantas....er.......doctrinal take on it would tell you that they do not have to resort to assigining special powers and angels to uncut hair to teach their view of the neccessity of it.
Women should look like women and men should look like men.
But just having long uncut hair is not magical ,God honours a person's faith.

In all my years in Oneness Pentecost I have never heard of such a thing until just the past few years.
Never did I hear any of the old-time women talk about their hair being a "veil of protection". Never did I ever see them take it down while praying at the altar or while worshiping.
Never did I ever see them laying their hair on the altar or over a child or anything else for that matter.
This is a new thing and it is error - pure and simple!!

OGIA...I don't really understand why you would sit back and accuse these ladies of putting words in Rachel's mouth...Nancy herself has done some 'reading between the lines' right along with most of us here, as she's the one who actually authored this email and is sending it forth, and hoping every Pentecostal lady hears what her long, uncut hair will do for her and her family.
Quote:
Your long, uncut hair is your glory, your power with the angels, and a covenant between you and the ONE that will supply all your needs. Hopefully, I can get Rachel to write it in her own words soon. It is worthy of repeating and our Pentecostal ladies need to hear it. God is faithful.
Love you all
Nancy Mikesell
Why would every Pentecostal lady need to hear about what her hair will do for her?
Look I personally think that long hair is a glory to the woman, seems Paul said the same. I don't see Paul saying anything about cut hair and hell.
The question that each woman should ask herself is: "How much glory do I want?"
Long hair is a glory to her. It's not God's glory she is growing.
A wife is a glory to the man. The more wives, the more glory? I don't think so.
No wife, no glory? Who cares? One still has the glory of God when they are filled with His Spirit, and that's what really matters. My glory isn't going to get me to heaven.

It just amazes me how a little fire starts a humongous blaze. Well, not really. One person mentions some silly notion that this woman used her hair to heal and it's "off to the races!!" Ends up she's using withcraft.
Reminds me of ... yes ... juveniles.
I'm a little behind in posts, but I hope by the time I catch up, I'll find scriptures from you to support someone using their hair as part of a healing ritual.

One wife is enough ,multiple female changes that would kill a guy or run him batty.

It would be like me saying ...... "N"ow God you know that I tithe faithfully and so therefore I'm laying these dollar bills and change over my daughter and pray that you will heal her because of my obedience to your Word."
Pretty much the same idea.
A little wonky if you ask me.
Instead, lay your skirt over your daughter and tell God how He should honor that you are obeying Deut 22:5.
Make sure that you are alone, however. You might be immodest doing that.

well, I guess what I'm trying to figure out is why she thought she should lay her hair on her husband to begin with? Is that supposed to merit some kind of special favor from God just because she hasn't cut her hair? The Bible tells us that "by HIS stripes we are healed." PERIOD. That was the reason for those stripes. It makes me sad to even "think" that somebody tries to manipulate God by pointing out to Him how extra-worthy they are of His favor because of their own actions. (I'm not saying that's what she was thinking. I understand you are going to say that I am reading into what she said again. But again, it reads that way to ME. I guess we're all entitled to our opinions)
I said pretty much the same thing in another post. Using our own works to get favor from God isn't Biblical in any way.
There aren't varying levels of Christians. Either you are one or you aren't. Either you are a child of God or you aren't.
