People at GC do that all the time! LOL!
No, but you can tell who is and who isn't just by the way they look and the way they carry themselves. Lol. I am not a fuddy duddy who is blind!

I do think, at some point, we need to move past those who are offended because we do not adhere to extra-biblical mandates. Especially when entirely too much credence is placed upon such things as salvational.

I find myself less and less accomodating of such nonsense. I don't have time to be the "beard police". This issue is one of the greatest examples of personal preference run amuck, and morphing into doctrine.
In addendum, I believe it is wrong to withhold ministry opportunities to men who have beards. I have a couple of men in my church with them, and have no intention of sitting them down because of it.

They had a beard when they came to God, and I have never condemned them for it. I'm just happy when they are faithful, love God, and take care of their family.

Whether they have a beard or not is like number 53,589,785 on my list of concerns.

I wasn't pinpointing it directly to GS, I have only been there once myself.

There has been a double standard in enforcing this rule ... for example Jamaican and Hispanic ministers often are never questioned for facial hair
