I especially like this scripture because it shows the nature of holiness. God never describes Himself as holy until He has delivered the children of Israel from Egypt.

Amen. We are a peculiar people.

In order for us to be on the same page you would need to agree with me that there are Christians who do not follow traditional dress code standards that are just as committed to living for God as you are.

They may be committed. I wouldn't want to be them on judgment day. That is all I have to say about that. I would rather be safe than sorry. Honestly, I hope they do make it. I don't want to see noone lost.

Some more peculiar than others.

Holiness to God is being like him. Several have posted this.

Therefore girding up the loins of your mind, being sober, perfectly hope for the grace being brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ, as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance, but according to the Holy One who has called you, you also become holy in all conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:13-16)

How God is is how we are to be.

Same here:

48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matt. 5:48

A simple definition is BEING LIKE GOD.

Brother, people who make comments like the bolded one typically believe in works based salvation. They deny they do, but their actions betray their denials.
