Unfortunately, there are "standards" that may have been set for a season in time that become "doctrine".

It is simple facial hair in the 60's & 70's identiifed the hippies-free-love-drugs-anti-establishment. The ministry made a stand. Does it have the EXACT same identifications today? I don't think so. However why the change now? Is it being advocated by holiness minded men or men who are toying with other ideas? The men I have personally known who advocated beards one of the a close personal friend also abandoned other convictions and some of them were definitely Biblical. Fight for the pea patch the next thing will be the barn then the house.
