This happens when there is a stronger emphasis on standards than relationship with God

You can deceive the people but not God.

This was our church growing up. They were soo worried about this kind of stuff that they totally missed the bigger message and picture.

Makeup and Jewelry = Bad Gossip and Slander = Normative

This is what happens when you never develop personal convictions...

I actually think modesty is beautiful. Sad she's mocking it

I witnessed this so much growing up. It made me so sad in HS when they said “If God wanted my eyebrows to be groomed he would have said so. I’m leaving the hair where he puts it. And my nails, if they were ok to be whatever color, I would have been born that way.” I was trying to tell them, the same way you brush your hair, you can tweeze your eyebrow hairs that are out of place. You can have pink nails and still be Gods child. With the logic you have explained to me, I could also say “Why brush your hair? If God wanted it to be tame he would have made it stay that way without intervention from your hair brush.” And many other examples. I hurt so badly for them.

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭

Modesty and chastity begins in the heart

I grew up Pentecostal, am 48 now, still a proud Apostolic! I never did this myself, but I did have friends from my church back then that did this exact thing. Never got a love for the truth. When I compare my life to theirs now??…I’m so thankful that I got a hold of something real as a young person. Their lives are so messed up. Not one of them are living for God today. Married 3,4,5x…problems with drugs and alcohol, estranged from their familes, from their own kids because of terrible lifestyles. I remember kids in high school telling me to just wait, that when i hit 18 i would b outta there. Nope. Nothing that was offered to me could ever take the place of what i found in serving God with all my heart. I don’t regret a mile I’ve traveled for the Lord.

I grew up in a Pentecostal home and never had to do any of this. I’m still a Pentecostal and never have to do this. I don’t know which Pentecostal church she is attending. The focus is on your relationship with God not your dressing.

I used to do that when I was a teenager. Even though I loved God. My parents are first generation apostolic's. so they didn't really teach us how to pray or how to build a relationship with God so I ended up back sliding and I had a daughter at 17 and that relationship ended badly my daughter still to this day never sees her father, she is 20 and me and my daughter have a not so good relationship but now that I am older, and I know that only God can fix are problems that we have with ourselves and with our lives and with her children, I wish I would have took the time to read my Bible and really get to know Jesus the way I do now! I've had cancer I am overcoming homelessness not to mention alcoholism and drug addiction. I have been clean for over a year and it's only by Gods grace that I am still here. I have a purpose I am loved thank you Jesus!

As an apostolic I'm very thankful for my wife. She takes pride in the standards she presents not only for herself but for our daughters as well. Those standards come from the word of GOD.

It’s a shame because serving God when your a teenager is such a beautiful thing. This happens when you don’t have a real encounter with God. Parents start praying for your kids to have an encounter with God from the minute there born. 😢

The title should be "growing up in Pentecostal family not knowing God."

First of all it's a funny skit. I had Pentecostal friends when I was growing up. We all did little teenage things. But it was all innocent, we weren't boy crazy, we all graduated with honors, we all maintained our virginity until we were adults and married AND STIL 'til this day all of us never drink we've never smoked; we put our Creator above everything else, so calm down comment section. Every human being, including the judgmental ones in this comment section, constantly goes through growing pains & changes of Life which includes mental, physical and spiritual searching on life's journey. People in these comments don't give credit that the skit is about youth, a developing brain, raging teen hormones and trying to understand growing into adulthood. Just laugh and move on.

I guess this person uploading did not receive the reaction she was attempting to get. Not just Pentecostal’s but many Christian’s play “church” every weekend, being one way at church but then during the week, they are completely different. This happens because there is no personal conviction, church has become a routine, and lack of relationship with God.

To be honest She just hasn’t had a true relationship with God. Because when you do have a true encounter, this doesn’t even go through your mind. 💔

And, yet, God still loves us! 🙌🏾🥰♥️💃🏾

I grew up in a Pentecostal Church and it was JUST like this. No pants. No jewelry. Long skirts. No makeup. And on and on……thank God for my PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP I now have with HIM as a Kingdom Child and servant to the world 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I did this as a kid. I regret every moment of it.

As someone who grew up Pentecostal I am 51 yro now and I thank God for my mother who raised me in the truth!!! ❤ I’m so proud to be a Pentecostal woman 🙏

As for myself I’ll stick with a stricter lifestyle anything you give up for the Lord he will honor you and bless you for it. I have watched the old Pentecostal saints die and heard there dying testimony. I myself desire to leave this world as a Bible living Pentecostal believer.

How do you know w/100% certainty you are sealed with The Holy Spirit, eternally saved and going to Heaven when you die? ANSWER: Because you BELIEVE that the Jesus of The Bible (The Eternally Existing Son of God) shed His Sinlessly Perfect Blood on Calvary's Cross as FULL payment for ALL your sins past, present & future, died, was buried and rose again on the 3rd Day according to the Scriptures for your justification! (1st Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2:8-9, Romans 4:5,25, John 3:16, 5:24, 6:47) God made salvation that easy because He loves you that much!!! 🙏

Grateful for the Pentecostal Apostolic standards that I lived by as a teen and joyfully still do. Modesty is a beautiful thing. God does care how we dress as men and women of God. We should look different and be separate from the dying world we are trying to save. We should not be dressing to sexually attract anyone as a child of God. You can still look very beautiful/handsome & be modest at the same time.

My parents raised me in a nondenominational home and I never felt pressured. We learned about the Bible in the home rather than in a church because that was the whole point of church not being just a building. It was a gathering. I wore what I was comfortable in, but still represented my aesthetic with leather jackets and what not. I was still modest and respectful. Still loved God and celebrated my differences from others because I was made uniquely like others. You should never feel pressured.

Glad it's her!

im Pentecostal. I hardly wear pants so 98% I dress modestly (working on my wardrobe) but every now and then, I wear add-ons and makeup. I dont feel convicted or bad when I do it and I keep asking God to MAKE me feel bad if its bad cuz I would give it up than ruin my relationship with God. I polish my toes as well. As I said, I read the book of Ruth and Ruth adorned herself for her husband and Im doing the same.

What’s done in darkness will show up in the light.

serving God does not equal not wearing makeup, pants, etc its about your heart. she could serve God while wearing jewelry, wearing pants, wearing makeup. the joke is that her parents are strict & she has to hide part of who she is because of RELIGION. she could have the BEST relationship with God for all we know.

Im a muslim and i grew up following the fashion trends and stuff and no muslim informed me or forced me about Modesty in islam or about praying. as i grew older i somehow got interested and learned more about my religion and the reason behind everything. my heart naturally turned away from the prohibited stuff and the trends. One thing I have noticed about most people who are forced to act according to thier religion in a strict manner cant worship with thier heart cause they werent taught correctly and they never explored themselves

You don’t need makeup! You are attractive!

I’m non denomination and when you get convicted by the Holy Spirit you know because you feel the need and want to do right by the word of God. I was never forced into living right I chose it and I will never regret it

No real church girl is doing this! I grew up apostolic Pentecostal and I still am. When you have your own convictions this isn’t necessary. I wish kids who didn’t care for church were more honest. They make it seem like church and loving God is hard to do when it’s not. This was unnecessary. If you aren’t convicted about how you present yourself that’s your own journey. Do not make it seem like we are all doing this.

It's good that she realized her religion was crazy at a young age.

I spent over 20 something years, drinking and drugging and remember something the Lord had spoke to me after delivering me. I stood in front of the mirror, putting on mascara, when the Lord said, “Really? You think you can improve what I created?” in that moment I understood that natural is best, just the way the Lord created me.

The life of a hypocrite is a hard life

I wish I grew up Pentecost. I appreciate myself for how God made me as a woman.

She's only lying to herself.😢

Myron's spitting golden nuggets of wisdom like it's nobody's business! Most people talk about tactics. This man talks about principles. BIG DIFFERENCE! This is by far the best interview on your channel.

I love dressing modest and beautiful. As I get closer to Jesus

When your parents teach sin but not actually about God

Religion is rules. Relationship is empowering

This is what happens when others try to push their beliefs onto the majority of people in this country and other parts of the world and they themselves don’t practice what they preach they all lie and do just the opposite by lying to themselves and everyone else. People stop being easily lead by hypocrites in this country and other parts of the world. Be your own person, we all know right from wrong and we don’t need sheep’s in wolves clothing to lie to us about common sense every day life endeavors.

This is just reality folks, the young people have to figure it out. Holiness is not a denomination, it’s what’s inside trying to show you a way of no regrets. Peace be with our young people and pray they find their way.

I’m apostolic and my church doesn’t care if we wear makeup, jewelry, pants. It’s not about your outward appearance, anyway. Most women at my church do wear skirts but Pastor says it’s a matter of personal conviction. Come to God as you are. He will make the changes. Edit: to all the ignorant people in the comments, wearing pants is not a heaven or hell issue. Grow up 🙄

This is what sane people call legalism. Danger danger

Naw but she so accurate... I'm not a PK but definitely grew up pentecostal 😂... baby... back in the day you bet not come I to the house of the Lord looking like you you been in the world 😂... I can definitely say I'm so grateful for my church upbringing it was the best... we enjoyed ourselves as kids we didn't really understand but now as we enteredadulthood we definitely appreciate the teaching we were given... Shoutout Lee Temple COGIC ❤

My oldest daughter shared with me that she did this when younger/ teenager. Now she has a personal walk with God and lives and dresses as a modest child of God with her own convictions according to the Word of God.

This was my patents, but with abuse. All shiny clean on the outside, but back home 😢. Took me 40 yrs to heal and get back with the Lord. Thank you heavenly father for your son and the holy spirit.

I have never seen women more beautiful than Apostolic Pentecostal women

Grew up Pentecostal my whole life and never seen these being enforced in my church. Was raised with “Come to God as you are.”Sadly not all of them are like that.

I carried my Bible to school and open the word of God up and taught the word in high school. If there had been some water I would have started baptizing my class mates. And after all those years 2 of my class mates are still serving God.

64 years old and 60 years Pentecostal. Still in my heart to live right!

I am in a UPCI church and we believe that modesty and holiness comes from a relationship with God. We don’t judge people and we would definitely never make someone leave or feel uncomfortable while they were at church.

This was how she was raised. Nothing wrong with it. There are parents who believe in modesty and aren't part of the church. That's the rules in her home. Not all Pentecostals young ladies do this. She wanted to blend in. It takes boldness to stand out and to stand up for God! ❤ Same people on here commenting won't bother the menonite/amish. Thankful for my Apostolic/Pentecostal up bringing. The most beautiful jewels are hidden. Because of modesty, I was always treated with respect by men.

I grew up in a holiness church and used to hide from my parents when I knew I was wrong. Then one day and realized how much I needed Jesus and repented. Now I don't have to hide. Anytime my mind begins to offer excuses (lies) and worldly solutions (sins) to everyday challenges (trials), I rebuke those thoughts and remember the eternal Word of inspired by God. Suitable for doctrine, reproof and edification. He makes my paths straight, keeps my in right relationship and brings my joy, Amen and Amen

Im an apostolic pentecostal and I love it!! It's literally the best life! I've finally gotten it for myself and would never be anything different!

I remember my best friend/cousin family were J.W abd they useto look at me with disgust and saud I was a bad influence on her,...(SO NOT TRUE)❗️My Grandmother, May GOD REST HER SOUL... She always told me your cousin (NO-NAME) Was very Jealous of me. And G-Ma knew the truth. And I'm not ashamed to say it. I was a little follower just to have frieyes and I followed her and everything she wanted me to do. That was so disgusting and bad so she was the bad influence the moral of the story. My G-Ma had it all right all that time , if I just could have listened. The things you look back at; and be like wow! she's was right , I hear you. Ma! I MISS YOU G-MA FOR YOUR SOUND ADVICE❤❤❤💯🙏🏿‼️❗️🕊🪽🕊...

There was a woman who use to live near me who was Pentecostal. In her household you couldn’t wear jewelry, makeup, no tv, no internet, no cutting your hair, no music, no pants and only skirts. Not only did she do these things but she was also a very mean and nasty woman. Religion doesn’t make you a good person, having morals and respect for yourself and others does. Some religious people are some of the most corrupt and they use religion as a cover up to hide their sins but don’t mind bashing others for their own as if they’re god. It’s even worse when they got children and want to shield them or control everything they do then wonder why they become rebellious and so secretive.

The fear of the Lord brings wisdom. Honor God, Honor your parents

It’s a heart thing. It’s not even about the clothing! Or the make up. Wear your make up wear your pants. Just keep your heart connected to Gods!

I went to a pentecostal home and they were the most unselfish people.

I thank God every day for my mother and how she raised us.....I have no complaints ❤❤❤

As a Oneness Pentecostal Apostolic, I do not fashion myself after the world. The church has its *own dress, its own sound* and *its own speech.* We are peculiar. What the world offers is junk and of no value. I’m not trading what my Father has given me for that. 🇨🇦

The relationship each one of us have with Our Father is very personal. We cannot hide it from Him.

Teach a child when young and they will not depart from the word but also God gives free will. Once a child is an adult we reap what we sow. The fear of the lord is the beginning of all knowledge and wisdom.

When Knowing God, Loving God and having a personal Relationship with Him... She would do what God asks , and out repect and love for him. She will love and respect herself. She sees as strict or burden. God's Word changes you slowly......smooths out ruff edges She only hurts herself. ( we all did same) God only tells us what is best for us.....He is our Father. She is young, she has to make her truth her own.

I raised in church backslid at 18 but God had a plan he knew I would be back 32 years later . I never knew he was this real . Gods word is his voice it’s as alive as you and I . I Can do what i want but i choose to please God by obedience to his word . And my life has been so blessed don’t get me wrong Their are trials but they have made me stronger . Now 12 years walking With God I wouldn’t trade this life for anything 🙌🙌🙌

I have learned in my life, through my own many many short comings, it all starts with losing that prayer life. But praise God, He is faithful and has been waiting there every time I come back. Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: Deuteronomy 6:4 Jesus is still there waiting sister.

I was a child when I met God. I was doing this for him . His spirit convicted me in my heart as of what pleased him and what did not.

Man you ain't lying 😂😂 my mom sent me this smh...she knows😂😂😂

This used to be me and my sister when we were not saved Blind walking in darkness thinking this was joy freedom of doing whatever we wanted But I didn't realize how close to death I was ...i was going to places I shouldn't have doing drugs... But by the mercy of God and prayers he saved me on April 19 2005 will never forget it. And now I live for God out of gratitude and I'll do whatever he ask of me ...even dressing in skirts no problem he does care about how we dress and make up he showed me in the Bible when he was changing my heart I left that now thats the least I can do after all he's done

Only cults tell you how to dress. I went through this. It's traumatic for some of us. You should have a right to choose who you are.

1 Cor 10: 31 " Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." Worrying about what people think is one thing, but we need to make sure we are in line with what we believe.

im pentacostle and i wear skirts no makeup ect. i still do skincare and stuff tho

My pentecostal pastors oldest daughter got married to a pentecostal preacher but she wanted to be in world so much that she got divorced and has done all kind of worldly sinful things like alcohol, drugs, adultery, cussing, tattoos, worldly music, no telling what else. She use to sing praises to God. I pray she finds God because those worldly things won’t make you happy.

This happens when you preach more on the external, than the internal. The true kingdom of God is not external, is living in the justice of God, In the Shalom he only offers and Joy from knowing the true of God. We are saved by Grace and by Faith and when you live by his WORD not by religion. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PLAY CHRISTIANITY :) :) Great preaching with this video of what not to do... blessings

This is a Godly way of life; not a joke.

If you shelter your child to the point of suffocation once they taste freedom they will run amuck. You must allow your child to make decisions and then guide them through those decisions. I have two girls and both of them are modest and I never had to punish or beat them into submission for them to know what being a good woman meant. I’m a single mom. It was hard but Them and I have made it through the storm unscathed. 🙏🏽

I grew up Apostolic Pentecostal and although my Mom wore dresses and skirts, my parents never MADE me wear them everyday... only to church. They taught modesty. I'm 42, still Apostolic, and still firmly believe in modesty. Modesty goes a long way and not just for clothing. In the same breath, I fully support anyone that wants to wear dresses, no makeup, etc. It's their conviction. We need to focus more on what really matters and let God do the cleaning.

I can relate to this so much. I grew up via a very strict apostolic grandmother. It wasn’t until my early teens I begin to rebel. I will never forget my upbringing but the no pants, no makeup,no jewelry, and not being able to celebrate Christmas with a tree. It was too much and in my opinion doesn’t have anything to do with salvation.

If it’s not in your heart, it’s not in your heart.

I am so sorry to see such personal conflict but commend her for still honouring her parents. It is the first commandment with the promise of blessings. She will live long enough to embrace true holiness and righteousness

Strict parents mean well. They want to protect their daughters. They don't want people to think badly of you. But they should help you understand through your faith why it's important to be modest.

I grew up pentecostal, 5 generations, and studied every other church and religion and am very happy to be very old fashioned pentecostal christian. After the internet made it possible to see Christians from other parts of the world, it was terribly shocking to see half naked woman calling themselves christian...and now gradually I have got used to it. But I know deep love for Christ will gradually add dignity to men and women and never cause the loss of it to be overlooked.

Modesty is nothing to be ashamed of. When you care more about pleasing God than the internet or your parents, it will come naturally.

The Biblical ban on jewelry is misunderstood by many stricter churches (ex: 7th Day Adventists). It really applies to women not being attractive in the temple, where it would distract the men from their worship.

I grew up Pentecost and many friends I had was living that double life … but has they grow older we realize it wasn’t worth it to live a double life

Wow, I can definitely relate. Gone are the days when my sisters and I wore the 'Little House on the Prairie' dresses and teased in school where we were nicknamed the Holy Ghost girls. Although a bit strict, our mom meant well and we grew up alright. We know that God looks at the heart of man, but our upbringing didn't harm us in any way. If anything, it helped set us apart when it came to not conforming to this world. TGBTG!

We just expect both men and women to dress modestly.....

I, like you, grew up in a Pc pastor's home. I am so thankful for that, because it gave me a rock-solid foundation for life. Both my parents have gone on to a better place- PLEASE, cherish them while you can. Don't live with a lot of regret.

#NailedIt 🎯💯🤣🤣🤣🤣 I embarrassed to tell you how many years I changed clothes in the car. One day I forgot my bag of changing clothes in my room. When my friend was pulling up to my house to drop me off, and I realized it, I ran back downstairs to get in the car with my friend because I had on a halter top. My dad didn't see me before I jump back in the car and told my friend to pull off. My dad was yelling from the top of the balcony telling me to not come back!🤣 I still left. If they saw me, I was up to creek. I had to call one of my friends in the neighborhood and ask him to ask his sister if I could borrow a t-shirt. I had them put it out in the mailbox. 🤣🤣 I was more prepared to get in trouble for pulling out of the driveway before being seen with a halter top on. That was equivalent to getting pregnant.🙄 In all seriousness, that was an absolute horrible way to live. Even though I snuck out many nights and change clothes many nights, my teenage years was stolen from me. 😢

I can relate LOL; grew up same way. Thank God I know the truth about a lot of things that were taught in error

This makes me so sad.. I pray for her, her parents loved her and tried to raise her in truth, but we must get it for ourselves…a relationship with God. Rules without relationship breeds rebellion🙏

Yes, this too. Sometimes, it's house rules for the home, other times peer pressure along with that flesh!! The Lord wants us to be set apart, light and dark ness, She is young and being trained!! She's not getting away, neither are we, God can and will pull the cover off and then you are seen, for the person you are, not the one you pretend to be.

We are the light of this world! God says we are a peculiar people! That means we talk, dress, act, live differently from the world. I received the Holy Ghost at 7 years old & got Baptized in Jesus Name! 🙌🏾 Now I'm 52 years old & I'm still Save Praise God! I've had siblings, family members, ect... to leave the Lord but I thank God I had a mine to serve him no matter what! My Husband & I have been married for 29 years & we raised our children in Holiness. Now our 2 oldest children are married w/children and our 17 year old is still Save and serving the Lord! My heart is so full & grateful. Make Jesus your choice! 👸🏾🙏🏽✌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾♥️

This is actually sad because it says your heart is not convicted by the word of God to uphold the modest apparel standard.

How we dress ourselves is often an outer expression of our inner desire to love and serve God.

1 question. Why is it that when a man wants to be accepted as a woman, he starts cross dressing, wearing stuff like pink women house coats, dresses, etc? Question 2, We don't say women , or men dresses, then why do we say women pants and men pants?You CAN'T get a REAL man to put on a DRESS ,NOT even playing for the most. I remember I was young and had my baby boy. My sister had a daughter she was playing and put a dress on my baby boy . She would always be doing crazy stuff to make my husband laugh. He didn't laugh about that he got really upset . She never played like that again 😂 Wearing PANTS wasn't a PENTECOSTAL THING! We were BAPTIST and didn't wear pants it was a BIBLICAL thing not to wear what pertains to a man! Girls at CATHOLIC , and other denominations school, some non biblical colleges uniforms for girls and females are dresses and skirts. NO women wore pants for the most before women lib and the men went to war and they went to work and had to sget jobs and took on the headship role in the house. They also wore head covering , scarves, or hat,in church and when they were out, men wore hats and took them off in church or in people houses. I remember when men would say I wear the PANTS in this house! But women working making they own money and wearing the PANTS in the house and putting them on their daughters. I didn't and I worked helped my HUSBAND and he is the MAN and he wear the PANTS in OUR house. I'm a woman, but for the most women are running things since women lib. That's one of the reasons things are so out of order. But it started with Eve.They are not going back to what please GOD, ! I'm a daughter of a holy GOD ,high priest JESUS CHRIST, prophets ABRAHAM, MOSES, ELIJAH,all the other prophets, apostles, saints, and the holy angels. Now is my inside ,language that comes out of my mouth, and outward appearance a representation of I am affiliated and apart of these and who I am and to whom I belong?
