I have never cut my hair. Never worn anything other than long skirts/dresses, Longish sleeved shirts, split skirts, etc. I have never drank, never smoked, never done drugs. I do not swear, I have always believed in abstinace before marriage, I do not own a T.V., and I did not become a Christian until 4 years ago... Yet some persist in thinking that because I attend a pentecostal church I am a legalist... Why?

These are not restrictions that I have necessarily placed on myself, but a part of my culture. I abided in them as a child because they were part of who I was then. I abide in them now because they are what makes me who I am today.

because you're different. People tend to label other people who have extreme lifestyles. I understand you though because I was a Charismatic before and I have seen them follow the restrictions you have imposed on yourself. I think it's because of faith, belief, love of God or pleasing God.. ??

Just about every church gets judged and criticized by members of other Christian churches. Sad but true.

God bless you!
