I just can't understand the need to make men shave, even to "test" their consecration. There are enough biblical mandates that do precisely that without having to add to the Word.
I really can't wrap my head around this issue. The main problem for me is that there's not a shred of scripture to back it up. It would be like making women wearing pantyhose a point of fellowship, and then calling it rebellion or a bad attitude if they don't want to wear them all the time (especially talking about women outside your own congregation, ministers' wives, other people's saints). It's that arbitrary and extraneous to Christian living.
