Generally speaking I will answer yes. Some things that can be lumped into the "old way" are extrabiblical preferences only.
I'm for an outward standard of holiness that is supported by scripture, such as ladies not cutting their hair, men and women alike dressing modestly, and avoiding worldly amusements.
I'm even MORE for an inward standard of holiness, since there is MUCH MORE bible regarding this, and stressing its importance. Without a right relationship, clothesline pentecostalism is just another cult.
Amen.

Excellent analogy, Mother Alvear!

Unfortunately some are being tossed because they are considered man made when they really were God made.
For instance:
"If you wear open-toed shoes, you're going to split the pit!"
The bible makes no connection between salvation and choice of footwear.
"Ladies shalt not wear red dresses!"
Why not? We won't confuse them with the Great Harlot of Revelation unless they're riding a beast, we promise.
"Sunglasses and colored toothpaste are fads of the world!"
So are buffet restaurants, electronic public address systems, and automobiles.
