And just as stupid as saying it's not a sin, but a preference, and you are not eligible for leadership positions unless you submit to the preference.
That's what "platform standards" are for.

no he doesnt. there is no way you can use bible to say men should have a beard.

there is one OT passage that speaks of it but nothing in the NT.

he can have a dress code in his church if he wants, and the people in the church are in agreement. he does, they do.

He could say he wants everyone in green if he wants. He is the pastor, and his people (it is a growing church by the way) like his leadership.

I think what's asinine is preaching against facial hair on men and teaching for doctrine your own personal preferences. That is what is asinine, Ferd.
I deleted the post you referred to as asinine before I saw your comment because I didn't want the thread to be about platform standards. Blessings...

if we are talking about SP, then lets be clear, he is certainly not doing what you charge above.

if you are speaking in general about some folk who do this... well then we are far closer to each other...

Brother Pixler is not teaching any doctrine that I know of from personal preference. He is very conservative and I know some folk who go there.


they love the guy. he is balanced and biblical.

Re: How stupid is it to...

"Platform Standards" are just to project the image of your church that you want to project. They have nothing to do with right or wrong or with actually living for God. They are window dressing. You are saying to the church members, "this stuff has nothing to do with being saved and living for God so you can ignore it, BUT, if you want to be on display on the platform you have to follow certain rules." It separates the congregation into the stars and fans or into the workers and watchers.
