I think liberalism really is a mental disorder.

I know men who teach that beards are indeed sin. The question is, Is this false doctrine? You keep refusing to answer.

But, you bring up a good point.

On what biblical grounds does one have to be "against beards"?

No, nothing has changed, I still keep my self clean shaved, but everyone else who sports a mustache, or a beard is up to them. The scripture doesn't teach that it is mandatory to wear a beard, or that there is a prohibition against beards. I know guys who preach if you don't wear a beard it is effeminate. So, it is a standard that they are teaching.

Okay. I agree with your position. I feel the same way.

But the question was, If someone teaches that it is "sin", is such a teaching "false doctrine"?

He didn't say it was a sin; but he said just like everyone else I've ever heard say about it, that we shouldn't look like the world.
I can see that because people in the world see on the outside before they notice what you have inwardly. The outwardly will make them analyze you and allow them to see you are different inwardly. That's the only way I've ever heard it preached. Though I have heard when you start to rebel against your pastor the first thing someone will do will start with their hair or facial hair most times. So I can say beware, 1 Samuel 15:23 is something we should all stay aware of!! 2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" And nobody became a reprobate all in one night, it starts one decision and compromise at a time. I encourage you to take a stand on that serpents head and don't let off.

Here comes the attack, but as Pilate said in John 19:22 "What I have written I have written."

Good points.

But if someone teaches that beards are "sin", is it a false teaching, a false doctrine?

Yes

[houston]

What is the point of this thread? Teaching that a beard is a sin is not on par with your nonsense that “acts 2.38 is required but not for Billy Graham.”

[houston]

This thread is a diversion

I would say it is false doctrine of they say quote unquote beards are a sin. Because there is not one scripture to back that up. Yes Aquila they have gone too far. Not per me or anyone else, only the Bible. Now if it's a standard that is something different. But a sin no, but if your pastor preaches against it not as sin but as a standard you should do it. Because there is liberty in submitting to God's government even when you don't understand. Now I know people on here like to take everything to the farthest extent. But nothing about that teaching is immoral, so just submit. You can always grow a beard and go to another church at a later time. But don't judge things before the time. If you will get on board with the man of God, you will find a liberty. In that I promise.. Now here comes an attack, but "What I have written I have written."

That’s just ridiculous

[Michael The Disciple]

This is so ludicrous. People acting like they never heard beards preached against. Almost ALL the Apostolics I have had any dealings with preached against them. And yes the platform standard is teaching against them because to the leadership one is not holy enough to even walk on their platform if he has a beard.

So because its a standard all should blindly obey? Do Apostolic Pastors get to make up their own rules?
