Really? That's a strong statement. Why?

Dan, we approach this from very different views. I still hold firm to the doctrines of sanctification as taught by the church that birthed me. I still find something deep and valuable in 1 Cor. 11 related to spicifically what we understand is a teaching about hair (and not just the rolls of men and women).

I know you dont agree with me on these points. But I will never abandon what I understand to be sound doctrine.

If I were still in UPC, I would feel exactly the same way.

These fads come and go give it some time and no one will remember it. Like the oil in the hands and other teachings of foolishness.

I would agree if this particular fad was espoused by a handfull of pastors and evangelists. But in the UPCI, it seems that the managment isnt exactly bending over backwards to distance themselves from it.

I agree it seems that whether some agree with it or not they ignore it at best cause the teaching is rooted in the uncut hair thing.
