He says it was the ancient manner of the Jews without pointing out Lev. 19:27

Have YOU ever seen a picture of JESUS CHRIST where HE did not have a FULL BEARD?

Mr. Gore seems to be wanting to scare people into thinking if one has a beard they are probably a witch.

Jesus didn't have a beard. That guy in the photo is not Him Mike im sorry to inform you.

Perhaps I've missed it, but I don't believe there's been a single thread by you, like this one, critical and damning of the beliefs of ihop, Bickle and Edwards.

You claim you "can't ignore" the book because of the "false doctrine." I wonder if it's the false doctrine which has you riled up or the affiliation of the author. Because you've ignored and even defended ihop, Bickle and Edwards in spite of their false doctrine.

So I have not criticized Mike Bickle and Misty Edwards doctrines that are false?

I have not contended against Trinity? Sinners prayer alone salvation? Immortal soul? No headcovering?

I have been fighting these doctrines for many years. I dont ignore them. Several times in the last week I have taught the truth of Oneness doctrine to anywhere from 40-70 people half of them calling me a hell bound heretic or worse.

I speak well of whatever I can. Mike Bickle preaching post trib rapture is a big thing to me. So I praise him for it.

Misty Edwards at least used to be a relentless seeker of Jesus in fasting and prayer. She is/was definitely IMO the greatest worship leader I have ever seen. Songs of holiness and judgment not just pats on the back.

Yes for that I will praise her.

If I were on a forum where either of them were, if I had opportunity to talk freely with them it would turn to Oneness, Acts 2:38, the resurrection of the dead, eternal judgment and the headcovering.

If we got that far we could move on to sinless perfection.

Not sure how much of a turnaround there's been on it. I know of UPC churches which allow congregants to wear beards, but still don't allow it on the platform.

Write HQ and complain, see what they say...

And here I was thinking that the sure fire way of finding out whether someone was a witch was if they weighed the same as a duck*I'm gonna help you out by saying it's a Monty Python reference*

Always? Are you saying the missionaries are lying?

Exactly. So since they have been doing that for years (at least some of them) where is the turnaround? I have heard it said a few times but upon seeking found no documentation.
