I don't believe he teaches that at all. His quote says there are a number of churches around him they can go to heaven from, just not his.

You're lost if you got facial hair in HIS church.

Man, wish I had a church. I'd be just like Jesus then.

I don't wear any at all either of course I think you women are the ones that are drawn to that stuff for the most part.
personally I wouldn't wear it but to say it's a sin that would cause one to be lost for eternity I don't think so . I'm talking about functional moderation. Decking oneself with ornimentation is probably related to Pride but Pride comes in many packages LC. I've seen people with not a stitch of Jewelry on, stroll up in a Lexus full of Pride or prideful because they were so so holy.

I know you weren't blasting me......i was preparing myself for those who don't agree with me!:heeheehee ANd you are right....And to be honest...we try to be balanced...Concerning pride............ha I've seen people that are very very proud of how holy they were!!!!!!! go figure that one out....

Do I think your lil round buttons that look like pearls are going to send you to hell? don't think so, but some do. Is your gold band on your watch wrong? I think so, try putting on a black leather one...you'll see how quickly people get upset and don't wanna let go of their gold...

***THis is not directed towards HeavenlyOne just people in general*****

I know a lady who attends a UPC church and refuses to abide by their standards and grips to everyone about them, I always wonder why she still goes. If you don't agree go somewhere else, it is your choice.

I know you didn't direct anything at me and I take no offense.

However, I'm not part of their organization. I attend a UPC church, mainly because there isn't any other option, unless I want to be Catholic or Lutheran.

I do not abide by the UPC standards, however, I don't cause trouble over it. I wear skirts to church and make sure my earrings are out. My daughter wears skirts to church as well.

I don't agree with the UPC standards, but why should I go elsewhere just because I don't agree?

Do you agree with everything your husband says? Since I'm sure you don't (because I know how husbands are, and I plan on asking God why He made us from a rib but that action caused the deletion of a few brain cells), do you think you should leave and find another? Vice versa?

Of course not. I agree with the Bible and how I interpret it. I can be (and have been) corrected, but if someone tells me what they think the Bible says and I don't agree, why should I be told to part ways?

Paul and Peter didn't agree either, yet neither of them considered the other to be unsaved, even if they thought one another was in error in their teachings.

*a diamond necklace

The quote mentioned was from Brother Epley.

FAL has always liked that one, and used it in his sig line back on NFCF.

I have never taught that facial hair was a sin, but it is interesting how much angst the topic seems to stir up in the hearts of some. :)
