Re: ***Districts begin to enforce Bernard Doctrine
"1. The UPCI stands for certain biblical principles regarding the outward appearance, such as modesty, women having long hair, distinction between male and female in dress and not wearing ornamental jewelry or makeup. We believe these are scriptural teachings and apostolic doctrine; thus we cannot abandon them. With regard to UPCI governance, the Articles of Faith specifically address women cutting their hair, makeup and immodest dress. It is our district’s responsibility to uphold this teaching as a matter of integrity and consistency. We are not dealing with cultural issues that are not specifically addressed in the Bible or the Articles of Faith, such as men’s facial hair, wearing of suits, or music styles (although some things like this can become indicators of where a church is heading)."
So if you have facial hair and don't wear a suit or play the wrong kind of music it is an indication of which way your headed?
