You would be welcome hardly a service goes by without someone visiting with facial hair.

Gives the folks one more thing to grab on to as they drag them to the altar!

Is that how your church works?
The Apostolic churches I've been to, never drag
anyone to the altar.

Re: 55th Annual Campmeeting (For Bro Eply)
I have facial hair, it seems to grow faster than the hair on my head.
Eyebrow hair, nose hairs, they require as much trimming now as my hair!
But they are facial hair.
On my days off out of the office I won't shave for sometimes two whole days!!!!! My facial hair grows out in that time and I have a beard and mustache!

LOL!! No my church doesn't work that way but in my 55 years in and around Pentecost I have seen my share that do. I have personally been in many services where visitors or saints perceived as "not right with God" were coerced to go down front to the altar with people hanging all over them.
Just this past weekend a relative of mine raised in a large UPC church was visiting and venting about his frustration with this happening to him. When he would visit church and bow his head to pray at the end of a service he would immediately be surrounded by well meaning folks urging him to go down to the altar. He said they would not even consider that one could have made things right with God some other time or place. If you didn't go down front and do what they wanted done you were not right with God.
After leaving the UPC many years ago someone had the nerve to come up to my wife in her home church and talk to her about being lost and trying to get her to go to the altar. This woman had known my wife for many years in that church did not know my wife's life or our church now.Only that we were attending an ex UPC church and that my wife wore makeup now, cut her hair, etc. It was another 10 or more years before my wife would step foot in her home church again. She would visit her pastor, whom she loved, at his home but would not visit the church when we were in town.

I think that I will be pretty safe, God doesn't come back to earth on Thursday.
I am sure it is written down somewhere.
