Though there is a difference between your conscious and your mind. The conscience ceases to exist after the owner of it is dead but, the mind continues on to live onto the next life. What you do during the time you’re alive changes what you’re going to be in the next life.

Apparel wise these two religions have separate beliefs as well. In some Baptist churches, women are not able to wear pants in the sanctuary. Baptist believe that as long as you don’t wear pants in the sanctuary that everything is kosher. Pants are ok out of the sanctuary. Apostolic believe that women should not wear anything that pertains to a man. They believe that pants are for men only according to Deuteronomy 22: 5. Accessories are worn in abundance by the Baptist, but apostolic believes that it should be the inward adornment of a person that should shine and that modest apparel is best.

The dress code, in today’s times, is seen as strict. The men are expected to wear collared-shirts, no shorts or jeans. The women must wear dresses at least to the knee. If one breaks the dress code, they won’t be ostracized or anything of that nature. I have heard the preacher preach on how men and women should dress, I would imagine that it made some people feel awkward. In order to become a member of the church, one must be baptized by immersion. It’s usually done in a river or lake nearby.
