Sometimes the "token and expression of inward reverence" may be seen in a suit and tie, other times not. IMO, there is no place or need for legalistic dress codes in God's church.

We are nowhere commanded to formal dress as a condition for biblical worship.
Nowhere. The insistence upon it is inconsistent with the RPW.
