Re: To Beard or Not to Beard, That is The Question
The Apostle Paul had a burden to reach the lost. This drove him to say “I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means shave some”

While I’m a clean shaven I have my own personal preference for doing so. But as to teach it with book, chapter, and verse? I cannot find a scriptural reason to abstain from whiskers. But as Elder T K Burk has pointed out, is that a beard was a symbol of masculinity.

Re: To Beard or Not to Beard, That is The Question
I think the older saints and Preachers that came out of the 60s and 70s had good reason to shave and leave the old identity behind and they did it with a pure heart and intention. Though there may be no scripture that states facial hair is sinful it would cause mas ciaos in some circles to introduce beards into the church.
The real reason facial hair isnt worn in some places is the peers would consider you backsliden, or your Pastors would rebuke you and not allow you to be in leadership, or some have made an oath to God concerning facial hair, or fellowship for some would be limited to a handful that you already think are backsliden.
There may be more...

I don't believe there would be mas ciaos at all. Nor any mass chaos.
I'm pretty sure people have the ability to adapt and accept something which has no prohibition in Scripture and is, at this time, indefensible.
It's like at my work when the Supervisor is out of the office. Incredibly work goes on. My co-workers arrive when they're supposed to and do the work they're supposed to do.
It's called being adults.

Re: To Beard or Not to Beard, That is The Question
For those who haven't read the link provided, this is from Bro. Burk's blog entry:
"Any standard preached should help remedy a problem a local church body is facing, which ultimately means that its purpose is for those saints’ spiritual wellbeing. Thus, no leader standing in a pulpit has the license to impose a standard that is based on his own rules or on his own preferences. "
Bro. Burk, if you're reading,
