All Demons Have Goatees
I have this from a good source. A UPC Pastor told a friend of mine that he had to get rid of his goatee because demons have goatees and we don't want to be associated with demons. Can anybody verify this? Has anybody here been to hell and/or a demon convention?
Thanks!

Re: All Demons Have Goatees
I've never heard that, but the good news is: the ideas held by one UPCI preacher don't represent the views of every UPCI preacher. 
I've mostly heard the argument that beards associate you with the hippie culture...or whatnot. Lame argument, but subjectively reasonable coming from a certain age group.

I just love that arguement. When I hear someone give it I want to ask them if they realize the 60's have been over for about half a century now!
If my memory serves me correct David Bernard dealt with this in one of his books years ago. He used the "hippie" justification for the UPC's stance for all those years but indicated it was not valid any longer. Probably his rationale and support helped them move away from rules like no preachers with facial hair on the platform at GC. Kind of sad to think that until recently Jesus or other New Testament founders of the faith would not have been allowed on the UPC platform at GC! LOL

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

There were hippies in the bible? Seriously though, I have heard cause it makes you look like a biker. LOL. I have hells angels members in my family. Used to party with them. Some of them were long hair long bearded bikers. Others looked like CEOs. No biblical verse/verses against beards.

All Demons Have Goatees...
Maybe they just got it mixed up a bit, when really it's "the goats have demons."
Here's examples.
