For any holiness standard to be effective in must come from the heart as
a personal conviction.
 
 In the first place the "Do it because I said so mentality preachers do
not instill personal convictions and the people will adhere only as long
as the Pastor is present or still has power.  

If Holiness standards are not taught in the church along with the
scriptural backing they will disappear.  "Faith cometh my hearing and
hearing by the word of God".  

Any Pastor who cant or wont preach a strong holiness standard to his
church is not worthy of the office. Those who do not live with a
biblical set of holiness standards will never see God.

Any one who does not do the Do's (Repentance, Baptism, Holy Ghost, Love,
Faithfulness to church, etc. will not make it.  Any who do the Don'ts
will not make it either.  We must have Balance or we will fall.
