A good illustration of what happens when a spiritual experience degenerates into a religious spirit. You will then get these strange types of aberrations. In other words .....
RIDICULOUS as well as IGNORANT!!!
[No I don't have a beard but I will defend your freedom to do so.]

Ditto here too. I don't have one, have never had one and probably will never have one.
Its my understanding that Bro Steve Pixler said recently and i quote,i can almost give you enough scripture that says, you SHOULD have a beard !however i would prefer that you didnt on my platform.Needless to say, he is taking quite a beating from some of his conservative brethern.

Why would he prefer that?

Pretty stupid.
Just as stupid as applying subtle, unspoken, pressure to new converts to shave.
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.
