Interesting thought Rico.

I believe in seperation. I like the fact that Apostolics are the last bastion or real standards. What I dont like is faulty logic and things like "No beards" that fly in the face of scripture.


Being Holy people cannot be about playing opposite man to the world. It HAS to be about lining up with scripture. period.

Again there are Pentecostal church in our area where the preachers are afraid of their shadows and do not make an issue over anything where they will be welcome to come stay as they are just put the money in the little envelope. But this church has a pastor which happens to be me and it ain't gonna happen here. NOT HERE.

Wrong---try again.
Facial hair has been a part of both secular/apostolic latino culture for years and widely accepted.

Not just widely accepted but in many instances, biblical conviction.

If Paul uses nature as an argument that women should have long hair and men short (which I believe he did make that case), should we not follow the same precident and say that nature teaches us that men should have beards?

Male pogonotrophy (the growing of facial hair; i.e, beardedness) is often culturally associated with wisdom and virility.

Phil, is this the style you're referring to?

I have not read this entire thread, but I do know that facial hair on men is not against DB's local church standards. (On women- that another thing!)

I am firmly against facial hair on women.

Not exactly... mine was not quite as long or curly. Many today would call what I had a goatee which would be incorrect as a goatee is simply hair growing from beneath the chin.

If you have noticed Bro. Blume's beard, that would be more like what I wore. the exception would be that my hair was white, my mustache was black and my beard was white with black flowing into it from the mustache.
