"4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved." Why don't you interpret hair as being the covering? We do not interpret hair as being the covering because if hair is the covering the Bible is referring to then that must mean that men are not allowed to have hair or he dishonors his head. If a distinction is made between long hair as being the covering (in contrast to short hair) then in that case this piece of scripture must mean that women must have long hair as their covering. What is the purpose of headcovering? Some believe that the headcovering is an extension of other modesty guidelines found in the Bible. We believe that wearing the headcovering is about more than just modesty for women. Women are to cover their heads for angel's sake (1 Corinthians 11:10). "Through head coverings our women show all present that their position as a woman is also redeemed. No longer are they at war usurping and longing for the man's position of authority (Gen 3:16). Instead they're content in the role God ordained for them in Genesis 2."}}</ref> [[Oneness Pentecostalism]], another branch of Pentecostal Christianity, teaches the wearing of modest clothing.<ref name="Dawn2017">{{cite web |last1=Dawn |first1=Eden |title=One of Oregon's Most Successful Designers Makes Modesty Garb in La Grande |url=https://www.pdxmonthly.com/news-and-city-life/2017/03/one-of-oregon-s-most-successful-designers-makes-modesty-garb-in-la-grande |publisher=[[Portland Monthly]] |accessdate=6 November 2020 |language=English |date=20 March 2017}}</ref> Oneness Pentecostal denominations, such as the [[United Pentecostal Church International]], maintain the teaching of gender distinctions, including a belief that men should have short hair and women should not cut their hair (cf. {{Bibleverse|1 Corinthians|11:14-15|NRSV}}).<ref name="Miller2015">{{cite web |last1=Miller |first1=Emily McFarlan |title=What's an Apostolic Christian and why is Kim Davis' hair so long? |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/09/09/splainer-whats-apostolic-christian-and-why-kim-davis-hair-so-long/71947018/ |publisher=[[USA Today]] |accessdate=6 November 2020 |language=English |date=9 September 2015}}</ref> While at the beach, women wear [[swimming dress]]es rather than what adherents would consider revealing bathing suits.<ref name="Dawn2017"/> Oneness Pentecostals do not adorn themselves with cosmetics or jewelry.<ref name="Miller2015"/> Additionally, certain Oneness Pentecostal denominations, such as the [[Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith]], observe the wearing of [[Christian head covering|headcoverings]] by Christian women (cf. {{Bibleverse|1 Corinthians|11:4-13|NRSV}}).<ref name="Brereton2002">{{cite book |last1=Bendroth |first1=Margaret Lamberts |last2=Brereton |first2=Virginia Lieson |title=Women and Twentieth-century Protestantism |date=2002 |publisher=University of Illinois Press |isbn=978-0-252-06998-7 |page=29 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Luke2016">{{cite web |last1=Luke |first1=Shelton |title=Statement of Apostolic Policy |url=https://apostolic-faith.org/ |publisher=The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith |date=2016 |quote=You are cordially invited to The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith regardless of race, creed, color or place of national origin.
