Beards aren't heaven/hell issue. However, with every country club or place of employment there are policy standards, and the church is no different.

The Church isn't a country club or place of employment. With a country club, the owners are more than within their rights to set whatever standards they want for their members. The same holds true for places of employment. The Church is owned by God, and His Word does not prohibit men having beards.

Then if you disagree with the standards,relocate to a different country club or church that meets your standard criteria, and pray they aren't overlooking any biblical mandate. It's quiet simple you know, there's no need for fussing.

It's not about a church meeting my criteria, 1Cor. It's about a church meeting Biblical criteria and not adding to that criteria that concerns me.

Country clubs are organized with the express purpose of keeping undesirables out. The church is supposed to be about picking those folks up. To compare the church to a country club and its exclusive features is scary.

Rico you are on the right side of the issue today.

Well according to the elders, the church well meets the biblical standards. But for a liberal, it would prove a different story, thus, find a church that fits your criteria.
