I have NEVER said a man was lost for facial hair. However I am the pastor here and responsible for the flock I am over and we are NOT having it here.
I do not allow folks on our platform with facial hair.

Not all principles and laws in a church are straight out of the bible...are you a pastor? Do you know what it takes to hold a church of imperfect people together?

False doctrine isn't false because you say it is so...neither does your implication that he teaches false doctrine hold a drop of water

What false doctrine?????????????? It is NOT doctrine at all true or false. A doctrine is a set teaching. I am NOT teaching folks facial hair is a sin. I just tell them I am the pastor and this is a pastorial judgment and we are not having facial hair here.

Extrabiblical doctrine is false doctrine .... Epley simply doesnt want to change cuz he doesn't want to change .... he has no biblical basis for this position other than NOT IN MY CHURCH .... NEWSFLASH ... its not HIS CHURCH.

Example of set teaching [doctrine]:

I just tell them I am the pastor and this is a pastorial judgment and we are not having facial hair here.

How long have you been teaching this???

All the weenie wobbles come out of the woodwork when a man of strength holds his God given authority out for all to see and couldn't care less what the mindless voices think...

Good man, God bless Bro. Epley!!

What you view as strength ... is easily perceived as PRIDE.

So your words are more potent than those of scripture? Study to show yourself approved unto GOD. But if people wish to follow the teachings of men apart from scripture its their right.

Then I would not want to have to bear hearing a sermon by them about some denominational Church that doesnt teach the Bible.
