Rules for pentecostal women

It's interesting:
"It is said that a Fall wedding is a very special one, because at a time when so much of the life around us is changing colors and dying, we gather together for a celebration of life and a brand new beginning. Indeed, today we are very privileged to welcome a new married couple into the world. I hope that every time you celebrate your anniversary, you will always think back to this wonderful Autumn day and remember all the love and warmth that you feel in this room right now."

Women who are members of the Pentecostal Church abide by laws the Church believes will to keep them from causing sin. Some rules and laws are not outlined in The United Pentecostal Church laws but are specified by the specific church the woman attends. These pertain mostly to wardrobe, including the required length of a skirt or shirt sleeves. Although many of the laws specific to women pertain to wardrobe, there are also laws about them being in certain public places. The following is a list of laws that apply to members of the United Pentocostal Chuch.

1. Dress and Skirts

   • Pentecostal women are generally not permitted to wear pants of any kind, only skirts or dresses. The length of the dress is not specific, however it is usually determined by individual church that the woman attends. This belief is based on the Bible. Deuteronomy 22:5 states that women "shall not wear that which pertaineth unto man." This is interpreted to mean that a woman should not wear anything that belongs to a man, such as pants.

   Jewelry

   • In Pentecostal belief, jewelry is associated with "a proud attitude" and "an immoral lifestyle, or pagan worship." It is believed that wearing jewelry is sinful because the Pentecostal Church interprets the Bible to say that God does not condone it. The book of Isaiah speaks about Israelis wearing jewelry, or ornaments, God then talks about how he felt the country of Israel committed adultery against him, meaning that he felt they had sinned because they wore jewelry.

   Entertainment and Education

   • Pentecostal women are not allowed to participate in co-ed sports or classes that require them to wear revealing clothing that exposes their body, such as swimming, calisthenics or softball. Women, and all members of the Pentecostal church, are not permitted to watch television or videos, go to the theater, attend dances or listen to radio programs. It is believed that these activities encourage evil. Pentecostals believe that this is important process for their spirituality because the Lord will soon come back for the people of the Pentecostal church.

   Make-up and Hair

   • It is described in Pentecostal standards that Godly living dictates that women should not cut their hair or wear make-up. It is believed that hair is a woman's veil or covering, and that it should be kept long to identify her as a woman and cover her head. Women are permitted to pluck and shave their hair on their underarms, legs and eyebrows or in an emergency situation for surgery preparation. Women can and often do wear their hair up. Pentecostal women do not wear any kind of make-up because it is believed that this is tempting to men and that only prostitutes wear make up to seduce men.
