As stated before at the beginning of this thread, most of us have never heard a preacher say that beards are a sin.
But, there are things that are lawful for us, but not expedient.
There are some similarities here with the primary ones involved on this thread and the poster strict baptist (at least I think that is what his "name" was).
Meaning that you have closed yourself off so much, that you cannot bear to attend any church, because only you have the "truth".
I have never attended any church where I agreed with 100% of what the pastor said or did.
However, I did trust those pastors to make me a better christian and to help save my children.

I'm not going to save my children by teaching them that a pastor can impose unbiblical standards on you... and you have to obey them. I have to be able to look into the eyes and my son when I man crosses the line and say, "Son, that's not book."
