Is it possible you might change your mind in say 15 or 20 years... Or do you consider this an unchanging truth??

No sir I am NOT changing my mind. It hasn't changed on this in the last 40 years why should I change now or later. I do not claim it is an unchanging truth I am only saying I do NOT allow men to have facial in this church and be recieved as a member. NOPE not going to change.

Would you actually ask one to leave your church if he decided to grow one?

Yes I would in a New York's second. I am tolerant of new folks and have never embarassed a man publicly but I just tell them we do not have facial hair here. There are Pentecostal churches around that would be glad to have them so I say Loose them and let them go. By the way I have never lost a man that I know over the facial hair issue.

I have NEVER said a man was lost for facial hair. However I am the pastor here and responsible for the flock I am over and we are NOT having it here.
I do not allow folks on our platform with facial hair.

okay that's fine. I'm use to being under that Rule code.
I'm okay with abiding by it i always have, BUT i'm just curious, what is your Pastoral reason for it ?? I've been told it looks like the world, like hippies, new agers etc. , Pride (which comes in so many ways). I've also been told it looks unkept. however, If there are people in your audience, who cares if they are unkept or not? a lot of people come frumpy, clothes haven't been ironed, shoes are diryt and unshined,etc.
