No, but you can tell who is and who isn't just by the way they look and the way they carry themselves. Lol. I am not a fuddy duddy who is blind!

I find myself less and less accomodating of such nonsense. I don't have time to be the "beard police". This issue is one of the greatest examples of personal preference run amuck, and morphing into doctrine.

In addendum, I believe it is wrong to withhold ministry opportunities to men who have beards. I have a couple of men in my church with them, and have no intention of sitting them down because of it.
They had a beard when they came to God, and I have never condemned them for it. I'm just happy when they are faithful, love God, and take care of their family.
Whether they have a beard or not is like number 53,589,785 on my list of concerns.

There has been a double standard in enforcing this rule ... for example Jamaican and Hispanic ministers often are never questioned for facial hair
