On that point, what about enforcing it to the point of taking you out of the ministries you are in, if you refuse to (concerning unbiblical things)do thinks like "men stay clean shaven if you're going to be in a "church leadership role"", or "ladies wear panty hose or you can't be in the choir?"

If we refuse to do that, are we not "obeying them that have the rule over us?"

And do pastors have the right to take us out of "leadership role" ministries for these reasons?

I would like to hear a few viewpoints here.
