Why do they wear long sleeves, long skirts, no make-up, no jewelery, and have really long hair? Why do they push their religion on their children?

Its not just the Pentecostal holiness the majority of them do. I'm a Pentecostal and we're allowed to wear short sleeves. We have long hair because in the bible 1 Corinthians 11 talks about head coverings we see our long hair as our glory. It also goes on about how women shouldn't dress as men, that's the reason for the skirts they are long cause of modesty. We don't wear jewelry for it is more of a symbol of being materialistic. I don't understand that rule...I wear jewelry, but not to the extreme (for example no diamonds, gold, pearls) We also don't wear make up or have our ears pierced cause it teaches us in the bible that our body is our temple and we shouldn't destroy it. It would be telling God that we hated his work. We believe in inner beauty. We don't push our religion onto anyone not even our children we only teach them.
Isaiah 61:10
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels

Why do you wear baggy pants, oversized sweatshirts and a nose ring? Because you choose to! Why do they push their religion on their kids? What are they supposed to do, hire a babysitter on Sunday morning? Force devil worship on them? Hide their beliefs from their kids? Let the world teach them all they need to know? Of course they would teach their kids what they believe, just like your parents taught you how to be a Democrat, or an Environmentalist, or a baseball fan, or a Ford driver, or a marble collector, or whatever. When they grow up, they can and will make up their own minds. Until then, they have to follow their parents rules. What is wrong with that?

It's involved in what they believe. I'm a pentecostal. (not holiness). And we wear long skirts (past our knees) but we wear makeup and have jewelery and long hair. We don't push religion on anyone but do teach it to our children.

To me it is up to the person. I have known people to say that God led them to dress that way. That is on them. I have nothing to say about it. Everybody feels differently about that. I have known some to go over board and think it is a sin if you don't dress this way. I'm a Christian and I wear make up, pants, skirts, shorts.It is up to the person. As far as parents I don't know about that one, but I know from growing up in a Christian home that my parents did not force me at all. I got saved because I wanted to.

I am a holiness apostolic pentecostal. I live holiness because God revealed it to me. Biblical references include:
1 Tim 2:9 Women adorn themselves in modest apparel....not with broided hair, gold, pearls, or costly array.
1 Cor 11-15 If a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her; her hair is given as a covering to her.

I guess they dress that way ,because they want too. Every religion, has some sort of dress code, some follow it some dont, its up to the person, and to how much they want to put into their religion.

I have not seen that dress style in ANY Pentecostal Church in Years ! Where have you been, in a Bomb Shelter for the last 30 Years ?
As far as "pushing religion" it is called witnessing, and if someone hadn't witnessed to me 35 years ago, I would be dead.
