I have no idea who those men are. Here is the point and OP made it in another thread

So YOU think Paul was commanding believers to kiss each other...Do you preach it? It does not sound like it the way you said you wish it were still practiced.

At least OP realizes this was a cultural thing, not a biblical command. But that was the point, when looking at what the bible teaches we are supposed to research and understand...have understanding. In the case of a kiss Paul was not creating yet another new law for the church to be burdened with. He was reminding the brothers to be cordial and in that day and age a common greeting was with a kiss. In some places they still do that.

But your answer presents another issue, if you really DO believe this you should be teaching this to everyone as a biblical command. Why allow people to be disobedient if you really believe this is a biblical command?
