...I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard....
A pastor who teaches that a beard is prohibited then teaches salvation by one who had his beard plucked for the sins of the saved is following neither the teachings of the apostles nor of Jesus who they followed
Pehaps those who have turned away have turned from following such pastors to following Jesus. This should make you rejoice, not sad.

I don't believe my Pastor makes it out to be a Heaven or Hell issue either. He just prefers the members on the platform to be clean shaven. We have people in our Church that wear mustaches and they are accepted just fine.  Hope this helps.
