I don't believe that Rev. Epley is correct in his approach to beards. However, he was elected as the Pastor of that particular assembly and it appears the "members" approve. If it is a problem for someone, it is probably only one of many and they wouldn't be happy there anyway. So it is best for them to go elsewhere. I certainly would. And both Rev. Epley and I would be happier for it!


No where on the bible will one read a Pastor/presbyter ruled of an assmebly.

BTW You also never read of a minister be ELECTED to the office. What happen to be called by the Spirit??

OK Now prove SCRIPTURALLY that in revelations "angel of the church" means pastor of the church???

Check this out:



Rev 14:6

6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
KJV


Who is the angel in rev 14:6???
