He didn't say it was a sin; but he said just like everyone else I've ever heard say about it, that we shouldn't look like the world.
I can see that because people in the world see on the outside before they notice what you have inwardly. The outwardly will make them analyze you and allow them to see you are different inwardly. That's the only way I've ever heard it preached. Though I have heard when you start to rebel against your pastor the first thing someone will do will start with their hair or facial hair most times. So I can say beware, 1 Samuel 15:23 is something we should all stay aware of!! 2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" And nobody became a reprobate all in one night, it starts one decision and compromise at a time. I encourage you to take a stand on that serpents head and don't let off.

Here comes the attack, but as Pilate said in John 19:22 "What I have written I have written."

Good points.

But if someone teaches that beards are "sin", is it a false teaching, a false doctrine?

I would say it is false doctrine of they say quote unquote beards are a sin. Because there is not one scripture to back that up. Yes Aquila they have gone too far. Not per me or anyone else, only the Bible. Now if it's a standard that is something different. But a sin no, but if your pastor preaches against it not as sin but as a standard you should do it. Because there is liberty in submitting to God's government even when you don't understand. Now I know people on here like to take everything to the farthest extent. But nothing about that teaching is immoral, so just submit. You can always grow a beard and go to another church at a later time. But don't judge things before the time. If you will get on board with the man of God, you will find a liberty. In that I promise.. Now here comes an attack, but "What I have written I have written."

I believe that a "standard" should have biblical merit, a lawful standard is based on Scripture, not a man's, nor a denomination's arbitrary opinion or private interpretation. Else the church in question will be conformed into the pastor's, or denomination's, image...and not Christ's, in accordance to the Scriptures.

Also, such a position opens the door to innumerable arbitrary standards.

Ok name one more thing that is preached that you don't agree with. Because I don't see things being added. What else do they Preach that is not Scriptural? Because facial hair means nothing really.
