Why not be honest, and admit it is only a personal preference, and certainly not a heaven/hell issue?
For the record, my personal preference for my husband is to shave, but he has worn a beard off and on, but finds he prefers to be clean shaven himself. It certainly should be a personal preference, and not be a doctrine to use to browbeat folks into heaven or hell.

I don't know where you have been but all the Conservative brothers that posted here have said having a beard is not a sin. They all said it was their preference based upon their experience.
I have a question for you though and it's one that doesn't seem to be getting much attention. Is it a sin for them to require a clean shaven face for their church membership?
If it's not a sin for them to do so then why even make it an issue?
