I am Methodist and I was Christened when I was little. I have always been told that Christening and Baptism are the same thing, but that different denominations do it differently. For instance, I was sprinkled with holy water on my head, but my Baptist friends were fully immersed and were not baptised until they decided they were ready. The meaning is supposed to be the same though.
The people with long hair, no makeup and skirts that I have known are Pentecostal. A girl I went to school with said that the hair is a womanly feature and that you should keep it to give glory to God. She also had to have a special uniform made for her so that she could be in marching band and not wear pants.
