I must have missed that question somewhere along the line. There is no list of requirements. Our standard of holiness is Jesus Christ.

YOU MEAN THEY LET YOU WATCH MOVIES! LOL. The United Pentecostal Church would not let you get away with that. :-) Caroline wrote: > The rest I'm doing already (which tickles me to no end > because it is natural to my simple soul :-). Glad to hear that. Caroline wrote: > Being single, I don't even have to wrestle with the > birth control issue. What is there to wrestle about? Do you think there is something evil with the reproductive system that God created?

It is not about lists. I'm sure there are things that I do not allow in my life that you allow in yours, but each one of us must become fully persuaded. I don't drink coffee and I don't wear jewelry, not even a watch or a wedding band. There have been training times when God has required me to go without any media whatsoever, no radio, no television, no newspapers, no internet, not anything for more than a year. So I know what that is all about in the legalistic camps. Most other times, I have had more liberty. The Lord desires for us not to look at lists, but to walk in love. That is all. If love would cause us to go without eating for days or weeks, so be it. If love would cause us to forsake sleep or to sleep on the ground, so be it. Holiness is following the Spirit despite the cries of the flesh and never being brought under the power of the flesh. If you have liberty to watch movies or liberty to forsake them, let every one do so to the glory of God. It really is that simple. Walk in love and if you live in the Spirit, then you should also walk in the Spirit. Learn what that means. Everyone who is walking in the Spirit is walking in love and does not sin. Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
