I'm by no means saying that a dress code brings a revival or move of God. however, it does appear that when AG let go of all any rules, in general, they lost something too. Now they are arguing over whether tongues are even the evidence!!! how many rules do we change before we get to that point???

To me...it is not a matter of DRESS but of wanting more of Him. Are they seeking Him? Wanting Him? Praying? Consecrating? Remember...if my people which are called by name shall humble themselves and pray...THEN.....

Are they playing church or having church?

CC1,
If a woman looks manly makeup and jewelry is not going to help, IMO. How could it?

Ditto!

I think that traditions often make more people connected to church life.
I concur that some traditions are more of a distraction then any good they do but not all.

You nailed it on the head here. It's a sense of belonging.

that's not going to go over too well CC.

No. I am saying that SOME women, who are a bit masculine by nature would look more feminine with a little makeup and jewlery on.

I have seen a few that with their scrubbed faces and severely pulled ack hair in a bun or ponytail looked very masculine.

Remember I said "a few".

Saving yourself?

All they would have to do is stop wearing a ponytail and a bun.

well I agree with Pressing on if a woman acts manly, no amount of makeup or earrings is going to soften her actions
