Reviews of the White Rock Church of God in Ewing Va

Outward holiness, or external holiness, is a Wesleyan doctrine emphasizing small clothes and sober voice communication.^[1] It is a testimony of a Christian believer's regeneration, washed in obedience to God.^[ii] The doctrine is prevalent amidst denominations emerging during the revival movements, including the Methodists (especially those in the Holiness Movement), every bit well equally Pentecostals. It is taken from 1 Peter 1:fifteen: "He which hath chosen you is Holy, and then be ye holy in all fashion of conversation."

History [edit]

According to Methodist theology held by the holiness move, before the fall of homo, "Nakedness was 'very good' from the starting time, simply its innocence was corrupted past the fall", a concept taught in Genesis 1:31 and Genesis ii:25.^[3] Genesis iii:8–10 and Revelation 16:15 teach that after the fall of man, "publicly exposed nakedness is a symbol of the shame of sin."^[3] In Genesis iii:7, Adam and Eve tried to cover their nakedness, though their attempt was inadequate for God; this reflects the trend in humans to "invent inadequate coverings for our nakedness."^[3] Genesis iii:21 and Revelation 3:18 teach that Jehovah properly clothed humans and that a "fully-clothed person is a God-ordained symbol of the full clothing of Christ's righteousness."^[3] Exodus xx:26 and Exodus 28:42–43 teach that nakedness is inclusive of anything that includes the torso and thighs.^[iii] As taught in the early on Christian text Paedagogus, the early Church building stressed the importance of wearing modest habiliment in the practice of Christianity, with the Church Father Clement of Alexandria declaring in it:^[4]

Woman and man are to go to church building decently attired, with natural step, embracing silence, possessing unfeigned beloved, pure in torso, pure in heart, fit to pray to God. Permit the adult female observe this, farther. Let her be entirely covered, unless she happen to be at home. For that style of dress is grave, and protects from being gazed at. And she will never autumn, who puts before her eyes modesty, and her shawl; nor will she invite another to fall into sin by uncovering her face. For this is the wish of the Word, since it is becoming for her to pray veiled. (The Teacher 3.11)^[4]

More specifically, with regard to proper clothes, Clement of Alexandria commanded:^[five]

As, and then, in the fashioning of our wearing apparel, we must keep clear of all strangeness, and so in the employ of them we must beware of extravagance. For neither is information technology seemly for the clothes to be to a higher place the knee joint, as they say was the example with the Lacedaemonian virgins; nor is information technology becoming for whatsoever part of a woman to be exposed. Though y'all may with swell propriety employ the language addressed to him who said, "Your arm is beautiful; yes, but it is non for the public gaze. Your thighs are cute but, was the answer, for my hubby alone. And your face is comely. Yes; but merely for him who has married me." But I do not wish chaste women to beget crusade for such praises to those who, by praises, hunt subsequently grounds of censure; and non merely considering information technology is prohibited to expose the ankle, but because it has been enjoined that the head should exist veiled and the face up covered; for information technology is a wicked matter for beauty to be a snare to men.^[5]

The Paedagogus teaches against the wearing of improvident clothing, in addition to forbidding the wearing of jewelry.^[half-dozen] It emphasizes instead, that people should seek piety.^[5] In the same vein, the Didascalia Apostolorum, an early Christian manual, directed: "Thou therefore who art a Christian [adult female]… if thou wishest to be true-blue, please thy husband only, and when m walkest in the market-place, cover thy head with thy garment, that by thy veil the greatness of thy beauty may be covered; do not adorn the face of thine eyes, simply look down and walk veiled; exist watchful, not to wash in the baths with men."^[7]

Reviving these early Christian teachings on modesty as an integral part of Christian living, the founder of the Methodist Churches—John Wesley—emphasized "inward and outward holiness", which "emphasized the essential link between heart holiness and holy living."^{[viii] [9]} Outward holiness in the form of "correct living and right actions" is practiced in obedience to God and as a testimony of faith after a person experiences the New Nativity.^{[2] [10]}

Early on Methodists wore plain dress, with Methodist clergy condemning "loftier headdresses, ruffles, laces, aureate, and 'costly apparel' in full general".^[11] John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, recommended that Methodists read his thoughts On Wearing apparel, in which he detailed acceptable types and colors of fabrics, in addition to "shapes and sizes of hats, coats, sleeves, and hairstyles";^[12] in that sermon, John Wesley expressed his desire for Methodists: "Allow me see, before I dice, a Methodist congregation, full as manifestly dressed as a Quaker congregation."^[13] He also taught, with respect to Christian headcovering, that women, "especially in a religious assembly", should "keep on her veil".^{[14] [15]} Those who tried to attend Methodist services in costly apparel were denied admittance.^[16] Wesley's didactics was based on his interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:9–10 and 1 Peter 3:3–4, which he stated led him to conclude that "expensive clothes puff upwardly their wearers, promote vanity, incite anger, inflame lust, retard the pursuit of holiness, and steal from God and the poor."^[17] The 1858 Discipline of the Wesleyan Methodist Connection stated that "we would not only enjoin on all who fear God obviously dress, simply we would recommend to our preachers and people, co-ordinate to Mr. Wesley's views expressed in his sermon on the inefficiency of Christianity, published but a few years before his death, and containing his matured judgment, distinguishing plainness—Plainness which volition publicly comment them to the maintenance of their Christian profession wherever they may be."^[18] The "men among the Methodists all wore the low-crowned hat with a wide brim, and a shad-bellied coat, much subsequently the mode of a Quaker coat, and their women wore generally a long scoop black silk bonnet, plain, without any gay trimmings, plainly dress and no ear-rings, nor any kind of ornaments".^[19] The 1859 novel Adam Bede portrayed the Methodist itinerant preacher, Dinah Morris, wearing obviously dress, with the words "I saw she was a Methodist, or Quaker, or something of that sort, by her wearing apparel".^[xx] Peter Cartwright, a Methodist revivalist, emphasized the importance of outward holiness in the history of Methodism, stating:^[21]

The Methodists in that early day dressed plain; attended their meetings faithfully, peculiarly preaching, prayer and form meetings; they wore no jewelry, no ruffles; they would frequently walk 3 or four miles to class-meetings and abode once more, on Sundays; they would go thirty or 40 miles to their quarterly meetings, and retrieve it a glorious privilege to meet their presiding elder, and the residual of the preachers. They could, nearly every soul of them, sing our hymns and spiritual songs. They religiously kept the Sabbath day: many of them abstained from dram-drinking, not because the temperance reformation was ever heard of in that day, but because it was interdicted in the General Rules of our Subject area. The Methodists of that twenty-four hour period stood up and faced their preacher when they sung; they kneeled down in the public congregation likewise as elsewhere, when the preacher said, "Let the states pray." There was no standing among the members in fourth dimension of prayer, particularly the abominable practice of sitting downwardly during that practice was unknown amid early Methodists. Parents did not allow their children to go to balls or plays; they did not send them to dancing schools; they more often than not fasted once a calendar week, and virtually universally on Friday before each quarterly coming together. If the Methodists had dressed in the same "superfluity of naughtiness" and then as they do at present, there were very few fifty-fifty out of the Church that would have had whatsoever confidence in their religion. Simply O, how have things changed for the worse in this educational age of the world!^[18]

While few vesture plain dress in mainline Methodism today, some Methodist Churches of the conservative holiness movement, such as the Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Connection and Evangelical Wesleyan Church, continue to dress modestly and evidently,^{[22] [23]} too avoiding the wearing of jewelry (sometimes inclusive of nuptials rings).^[24] The 2015 Bailiwick of the Evangelical Wesleyan Church details these holiness standards in its Full general Rules:^[25]

Members shall conform to the scriptural standards of attire, adorning themselves in a meek and repose spirit, not with gold, pearls, or costly array. This applies specifically to the wearing of finger rings of whatever kind (including hymeneals rings), all forms of symbolic or ornamental jewelry, and any apparel which does non modestly or properly clothe the person. Women shall refrain from cutting their hair or crimper it either by commercial processes or by home permanent methods, wearing apparel pertaining to men, or painting their faces or fingernails.^[25]

In its Special Rules and Advices, the Evangelical Wesleyan Church further teaches that:^[25]

We crave our women to announced in public with dresses of small-scale length, sleeves of modest length, modest necklines and modest hose; the wearing of split skirts, slacks, jeans, artificial flowers or feathers is forbidden. Moreover, nosotros require our men to arrange to the scriptural standards of decent and minor attire; nosotros require that when they announced in public they wear shirts with sleeves of modest length. We crave that all our people appear in public with sleeves below the elbows. Women's hemlines are to be modestly below the knees. Our people are forbidden to appear in public with transparent or immodest clothes, including shorts or bathing suits. Parents are required to clothes their children modestly in conformity with our general principles of Christian attire. Nosotros further prohibit our people from participating in the practices of body-piercing, tattooing or torso art.^[25]

The aforementioned denomination, in its 2018 Handbook for the Evangelical Wesleyan Bible Institute (EWBI), teaches the following "Principles of Christian Living" for its seminary students:^[26]

Hence information technology is required that those who profess to be disciples of Christ should come out from the world and exist split, and touch on not the unclean affair, abstaining from worldly indulgences, such every bit the use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, or harmful drugs or agents, worldly amusements, including theatre-going and television-viewing, video-viewing, inappropriate computer usages, card playing, gambling, dancing, the skating rink, amusements fairs, mixed bathing, listening to "stone" and other types of worldly, un-Christian music; the adoring of worldly dress, such as jewelry, attire which does not modestly and/or properly clothe the person or which pertains to the opposite sex, or women cutting or crimper their pilus or men letting their hair grow too long; tattooing or body piercing; the profanation of the Dominicus into a solar day of secular piece of work, business organization and/or pleasure; and from all other sinful practices.^[26]

The Book of Discipline of the Calvary Holiness Church building specifies the standard for the headcovering worn by Christian women:^[27]

a. The Calvary Holiness Church practices the ordinance of the Prayer and Prophesy Veil for women. It is scripturally taught in I Corinthians 11:1-16.
b. The Veiling is to be worn by the sisters while praying and prophesying.
(1) We sympathize praying is a means of communication with God by the individual whether information technology exist public, individual or being in a spirit of prayer which is "praying without ceasing."
(2) We empathize prophesying to mean non only preaching only witnessing or testifying whether in a public scene or in a more private surrounding.
(3) Therefore, the sisters are enjoined to wear their veilings during all waking hours.
c. The minimum weight of the veiling shall exist that of white stiff nylon. It shall be fabricated in the fashion of a bonnet and shall closely fit the hair which has been fashioned into the course of a bun at the crown of the head.^[27]

The Methodist doctrine of outward holiness applies to Home Furnishing as well, with the Metropolitan Church Association teaching:^[28]

Modesty and economy should be observed in the furnishing of the home. Plush furniture or needless home equipment should non be provided. The world is in great need of all the help the church can possibly give; and it becomes those who are walking in the footsteps of Jesus, to economize on all lines, that they may help the needy.^[28]

Standards [edit]

Holiness Methodist doctrine teaches that biblical standards of apparel and behaviour are followed "an act of obedience and they go on one from nullifying his testimony of grace", being required for all Christians afterwards the first work of grace—regeneration.^[2]

The father of Methodism John Wesley'due south view of biblical standards was further grounded in the principle of stewardship—dressing patently so that money could become to help the needy: "Everything well-nigh thee which cost more Christian duty required thee to lay out is the claret of the poor!"^[ii] Methodist evangelist Phoebe Palmer wrote the following prayer of induction for those seeking to be entirely sanctified, which "involves a submitting to whatsoever behavioral standards which might exist enjoined upon the believer past God":^[2]

With comminglings of intense yet solemn joy, and holy fear, I do at this eventful hour resolve, in the strength of the Lord Jehovah, on minute circumspection in the sustainment and adornment of my trunk, to indulge in but such things every bit may be enjoyed in the name of the Lord, and behave the inscription, "HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD".^[ii]

Daniel Stafford, a Nazarene evangelist, preached that those not adhering to biblical standards of dress and behaviour are not even candidates for the second piece of work of grace: "It would be an insult to the blest Holy Ghost to ask Him to business firm a body that is decked out with the things of the globe".^[two] The 2012 Book of Subject field of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church teaches the following standards that are typical of traditional Methodist practice:^[29]

¶77. Conditions of Membership—There is only ane condition previously required of those who desire access into these Societies: "A desire to flee from the wrath to come up, and to be saved from their sins." Simply wherever this is actually fixed in the soul information technology volition be shown by its fruits. ¶78. Information technology is therefore expected of all who desire to continue therein, that they shall continue to testify their desire of salvation, kickoff: by doing no impairment, by fugitive evil of every kind, peculiarly that which is virtually more often than not practiced, such as: The taking of the Proper name of God in vain, profaning the day of the Lord, either by doing ordinary piece of work therein, or by buying or selling. Drunkenness, ownership or selling or using spirituous liquors, unless cases of farthermost necessity; fighting, quarreling, brawling; brother going to law with brother; returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; the using of many words in buying and selling; the buying or selling of goods that take not paid the duty; giving or taking things on usury (that is, unlawful interest); uncharitable or unprofitable chat particularly speaking evil of ministers and magistrates; doing unto others what we would not they should practise unto us; doing what we know that is not for the celebrity of God; the putting on the gilt equally a useless ornament; and taking such diversion equally cannot be done in the name of the Lord Jesus—such as dancing, carte du jour-playing, lottery, policy, and other, games of chance; going to circuses and theaters; the singing of those songs and the reading of those books that do not tend to the cognition and dear of God; softness and needless of self-indulgence; laying upward treasures on earth; buying goods without the probability of paying for them. ¶79. Information technology is expected of all those who wish to continue in these Societies, that they should continue to testify their want of salvation. Secondly: By doing good; by beingness in every kind merciful after their power; doing proficient of every possible sort, and, as far as possible, to all men. To their bodies, of the ability which God gives; past giving food to the hungry; by wearable the naked; by visiting or helping them that are ill or in prison; To their souls, by instructing, reproving, or exhorting all whom they accept any intercourse with; trampling under foot that enthusiastic doctrine that "We are non to practise good unless our hearts exist free to it." By doing good especially to them that are of the household of organized religion, or groaning and so to exist; employing them preferably to others; buying one of another; helping one another in business and so much the more because the earth will love its ain, and them only. By all possible diligence and frugality, that the Gospel be not blamed. By running with patience the race fix before them, denying themselves and taking up their cantankerous daily; submitting to bear the reproach of Christ; to exist equally the filth and off scouring of the world; and looking, that men should say all manner of evil against them falsely, for the Lord'south sake. Information technology is expected of all who desire in these Societies that they should continue to evidence their desire of conservancy. Thirdly: By attending on all the ordinances of God; such as, the Public worship of God; the Ministry building of the Word, either read or explained; the Lord'southward Supper, searching the Scriptures, fasting, and abstinence; family and private prayer. —The Doctrine and Field of study of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church ^[29]

Many of the following standards are those skillful by those who attach to the doctrine of outward holiness, though certain connexions have relaxed them, particularly those in the mainline tradition:

• Modest and manifestly dress (1 Tim. 2:9), which is defined equally loose covering from the neck to below the knee joint in all normal body postures (Exod. xx:26; 28:42-43) with women's styles including cape dresses and prairie dresses for example; women often wear a Christian headcovering (one Corinthians eleven:2–10).^{[xv] [30]} This would include the wearing of swimming dresses past women rather than revealing bathing suits, as well as the strict prohibition of mixed bathing.
• Moderate or no use of jewelry or ornaments of gilt, silver, and jewels for personal adornment (one Tim. 2:ix-x; 1 Pet. 3:1-half-dozen); some denominations will only let the use of a wedding ceremony band or ring while others proscribe it too.^[24]
• A distinction of the sexes in wear, forbidding such style as trousers and pant suits for women fifty-fifty if required by work or public service. (Deut. 22:5).
• Christian men are to article of clothing their pilus short and Christian women must never cut or remove their pilus, wearing information technology long in order to take a definitive stardom of male person and female sexes. (ane Cor. xi:fourteen-15).

Outward Holiness can besides include the following which reveal an inward character:

• Impeccable honesty (Prov. 11:1; Rom. 12:7)

• Keeping the Ten Commandments, such as observing the Christian Sabbath (John 14:xv; 1 John 2:3-4; Heb. ten:25)^[31]
• Regular prayer and fasting (Acts xiv:21-23)^[21]
• Abstinence from alcohol and other drugs (Prov. 20:1; Rom. thirteen:13; Eph. 5:18; 1 Thes. 5:vii-eight)^[32]
• Avoidance of social dances (Rom. 13:xi-fourteen; Gal. 5:19-21)^[32]

Likewise, Conservative Friends (Quakers) practice a testimony of simplicity. As these Churches have a different origin than those of the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, they do not call this outward holiness although their behavior ofttimes produce the aforementioned externals as those of the Wesleyan-Arminian tradition, eastward.grand. obviously dress. Other people with a similar lifestyle include certain Traditionalist Catholics,^[38] such as the communicants of the Palmarian Catholic Church,^[39] equally well as the communicants of the Laestadian Lutheran Churches, and some Reformed denominations, such as the Gratuitous Presbyterian Church of Scotland and holland Reformed Congregations. Congregants in Independent Baptist churches are as well known for their small wearing apparel.^[twoscore]
