We are not Anglican nor evangelical in the modern understanding, we are a wholly separate entity.

It kind of seems that you are making laws for yourself. It is always a heart attitude. Yeah, I do agree, strongly that a woman should dress modestly when in public so as not to put a stumbling block before the men in the Church, or anywhere for that matter; and to me, that can mean a clean, in good-repair pair of jeans and a tee shirt too. These are "traditions" rather than "commands" I think. My guess is that God is more concerned with what is within His vessels rather than outward appearances. Why put these burdens on others?
Just my thoughts.
Matthew 22:
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew 22:37-40
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Just my thoughts.

It looks like your church is not too different from the Catholic Church.
Q-168. What happens when a person is Baptized? A. All their sins are washed away by regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, which He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior. The work of Christ in Baptism is not dependent upon personal maturity, intellectual development, or on an achieved degree of faith, but is a holy, unmerited gift of grace. Titus 3:5-6. Romans 6:3-5. Galatians 3:27
The CC also believes in baptismal regeneration. The Episcopal Church has a similar belief:
This is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body, the church. God establishes an indissoluble bond with each person in baptism. God adopts us, making us members of the church and inheritors of the Kingdom of God (BCP, pp. 298, 858). In baptism we are made sharers in the new life of the Holy Spirit and the forgiveness of sins. Baptism is the foundation for all future church participation and ministry. Each candidate for baptism in the Episcopal Church is to be sponsored by one or more baptized persons.
Baptism
exactly i had a lady at church i was pastor sing a special .she had keep pulling her skirt down so as it it didnt crawl up
aww so your apostolic the word trinity is not found in the Bible just like the word rapture and millennium father son Holy Ghost are 3 but each have separate function ..now that i covered that diversion . you lean upon hair cut so i asked that it be shown in scripture . i can take the time if wanted to show you how the three words that are not found in scripture. are there but not under that name .but back to the topic the o.p you started . no i will not do any more post on the trinity .simply due to that is not the subject
Have you read the book? The whole thing defines what "religion" should be.

Just read your OP. So very very sad...nevertheless so very true...we've all seen similar things in "church."
Unfortunately , While the earth remains, we will always have the selfrighteous , religious , and legalists among us.
Bless you , Helen.
The need to be religious is built into humanity. But it has been perverted through false religions. James tells us what is true religion. So religion is not unacceptable to God. Only false religion.
exactly to many want to make a big show think it is religion
Actually I believe in the Trinity although I emphasize the Oneness of the Lord in my teaching.
The Trinity is NO lie.
Trinity vs. Tritheism: Understanding the Trinity.
(first four posts especially)
So, do you believe that the concept of the Trinity is found in the Bible?
Just as the concept of the Trinity is found in the Bible, so the concept concerning "hair cuts" is found in the Bible, even though the exact words aren't mentioned...just as the word "Trinity" is not found anywhere therein; and yet the concept is definitely there.
show your concept of scripture the same concept that was told about choosing David follows today..man looks at the out ward appearance God looks at the heart .still applies today For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. this has ABSOLUTELY ...None to do with a hair cut or even long hair ..i dont wear long hair nor do i condemn a christian who does
The head of every man is Christ...and the man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonours his head.
So then, while may not be a salvation issue, it does reflect on whether a man loves and respects Christ, if he knows the scriptures in question.
God became a Man who will be the Judge of all. As a Man, he is going to indeed judge partially on the basis of the outward appearance.
