Please, I'm begging...where do you get from the bible that women should NEVER cut their hair?
I've researched it, and all it says it that men should NOT have long hair, and that women SHOULD have long hair. Well...I have long hair, but it has been cut so many times I can't count them all. So, I want to know where it says that I should NEVER CUT my hair. I haven't found that yet. I could use some help finding it.

I am an Assemblies of God Pastor, and we are about as Pentecostal as you get.
We have and teach nothing about the length of a woman's hair. In fact my wife has short hair, and my daughter is a cosmetologist.
Anyone who says that women cannot cut their hair is just being legalistic, and not Christlike at all.

I don't think it's there. The only "church" I've personally encountered that subscribes to that belief is bound by religion. The women aren't allowed to wear pants there either. They have a female pastor though, I have a lot of good friends there but I don't get it.
What does God tell you? That's the important thing.
I am curious, why are you directing this question only to Pentecostals?

I attend a pentecostal church and have NEVER heard this teaching. Its quite strange really and not biblical. Don't let anyone shove legalistic teachings down your throat. You are permitted to cut your hair. The christian life is about liberty and freedom. Reading the book of Galations may help you in this.

Don't worry about it. That scripture is taken way out of context to control folks.
There is nothing wrong at all with women cutting their hair.

hi, you are right it does not say this anywhere in the bible, however it was considered by jews and the early Christian church that a womans hair was her crowning glory and should be covered as such in worship.
