Re: The Removal of Romans 14:22

Quite a few years ago I belonged to an organization called The Church of Jesus Christ Pentecostal Faith. Our Presiding Bishop was G.R. Brock. He pastored a church in Indianapolis. He believed that a minister should always wear a neck tie and he based that on the Old Testament where it described how a priest should dress.

Bishop Brock visited a church in Kentucky pastored by Bro. Martin. Bro. Martin did not believe men should wear neckties. He considered them to be nothing more than useless adornment. At his request, Bishop Brock removed his necktie when he stood up on the platform behind the pulpit to preach. Bishop Brock said something about honoring the local pastor and obeying him. Then Bishop Brock turned to Bro. Martin and offered him an invitation to come to preach for him in Indianapolis. He then told Bro. Martin that he (Bishop Brock) required any man who preached for him to wear a necktie. He went on to inform Bro. Martin that he kept a necktie in the pulpit just in case a minister came along who didn't have one.

Does this comply with Romans 14?
