    I don't know about vain but clothing is certainly a big deal to everyone. In this day and age people dress provocatively and without a sense of modesty.

    You accused me of cherry picking. It is clear that I see how we present ourselves is part of the message.

    Patience in growth and dressing inappropriately are two different subjects. I wonder is there any type of dress that you would say we ought not dress that way when we are witnessing? should we go naked and go out to a nudist camp? In your mind is there a point when people might have gone to far. You can correct me but I will bet yes. The point that is to far is emmulating hookers in any way shape of form.

    When you act and dress like them you are being no different then them. You seem to find their dress acceptable on some level. I see it as misrepresnting God.

    I shouldn't have said that, sorry. You didn't acknowledge any of the bible verses, so I wasn't even sure if you read them. OR if you even looked at the video before comparing her dress attire to Prostitutes, it certainly doesn't compare imo. She is completely covered. Still... not a good reason to say that.
    True growth towards Christ for someone who dresses immodest should result in some type of dress change. I have seen it, it usually comes naturally after a while.
    We need to be witnessing at all times, or at least be on guard if the opportunity arises. Overall, I don't see a need to change clothing. If I am bike riding, sunbathing in a bathing suit in my back yard, swimming or whatever, my attire is fine.
    No......
    Yes. If she shows cleavage at all (she is big) or too much flesh then I wouldn't deem that appropriate. She would appear to similarly to the folks she is praching to imo

    I see it as misrepresenting God after she has had a little time to grow as a Christian. There becomes a point of accontability, though I can only guess when that is.

    At some point, there should be a change. She doesn't act like a prostitute, so that doesn't appear an issue imo

    Ro 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ died for us. Don't let your self rightess get you high minded.Ps 14:3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is NONe that doeth good, no, not one. Ps 14:4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my PEOPLE as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. But remeber this my friend when you get to high on your rightessness.Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy RAGS; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. And who are thow that judgeth another. Ro 3:23 For all have sinned, and come SHORT of the glory of God; But if ye want to know the meaning of what we are to do here is .Ec 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

    Well, I've just finished reading that womans long testimony. The one someone posted on here.

    Goodness gracious, if anyone had any doubt regarding her conversion, that should end it. The sister clearly saw her wretched condition, emptiness and sinfullness, she clearly discerned her seperation from God, and she clearly embraced Christ as her only hope for eternity, and new life here on earth.

    Praise God! \o/

    I pray that her and her friends ministry will continue on with Gods continued blessing and guidance.

    Mike
