You are obviously in a non-traditional sanctuary... only the progressive and highly successful have those confounded fan shaped outfits that makes it too easy for the preacher to spit to the back pew as evidence of his anointing.

I believe in seperation. I like the fact that Apostolics are the last bastion or real standards. What I dont like is faulty logic and things like "No beards" that fly in the face of scripture.


Being Holy people cannot be about playing opposite man to the world. It HAS to be about lining up with scripture. period.

I agree. But I do wish to point out that the BIBLE NEVER refers to clothing when it says we are to be separate and to come out from among the world. The ONLY thing the bible ever mentioned was that men would know we're His people by our love for one another.

Again, NO WHERE does the bible say clothing or appearance separates us.

Why not be modest just for the sake of modesty, like the bible says?

Hmmmm... Doing what the Bible says simply because it says it and not reading anything else into it that it was not trying to say....

What a novel idea.

That just might work.

Male pogonotrophy (the growing of facial hair; i.e, beardedness) is often culturally associated with wisdom and virility.
