Not quite. I left a church I was active in ministry in because my views on soteriology changed.

I follow a simply rule.

If it is not taught and mentioned at least 2 times in the Bible, I simply do not teach it.

In the mouth of 2 or 3 witness let everything be established.

See, I believe God still impresses folks with principles that will help them in a modern world.

Act 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

How does the no beard rule fit in with that? Jesus had a beard, every Jew had a beard (if they could), several early Pentecostals had beards (though their standards were stricter than anything around today).

Nobody outside Pentecostals and certain baptist groups think beard = hippy doper.

Thankfully Jesus ain't building a business, but his church. Lot of people seem to have confused the two however.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in separation. But a man having a beard isn't worldly. In fact it could be argued (quite successfully imo) that NOT having a beard is worldly. Worldly = of or like the world (including the corporate business world)...

Just ask Steve Winter.
