The word "Holiness" used in this way is a description of thier interpretation of the Bible, and means something similar to Pentacostal. <a href="[Link](Mouse over link to see full location); is a website that can give you an idea of what they meant. They are describing their church as a Holiness church. Holiness usually involves baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in toungues, miracles, etc. If you have more questions, the best source would be the the pastor of the church.

Going to church does not make one holy. Proclaiming to follow a religion does not make one holy either.
It takes some actual effort to live a "holy" life.
Likewise, I've harped before about the differences between relgion and spirituality.
I'm wondering if you're perhaps asking about over-simplified definitions of things faith-related, but again, from what you've attempted to ask, I'm not really sure what you're aiming for... any chance you could clarify your question? [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
