If we are going to make a doctrine out of something, we better have Bible to back it up.
If it is a cultural issue, which culture does it belong to ? Is a ban on beards by Apostolics worldwide ? Do all Apostolics in each and every country ban beards ?
Early American Apostolics had facial hair and did not think anything of it. Where and why did it change ?

The Devil did not want men coming to Apostolic Churches. He put it in the hearts of certain rulers to start teaching beards were sinful and men could not be members if they had beards. This teaching spread and countless thousands of sincere seeking souls wound up going elsewhere. The Devil was well pleased. Many if not most "Apostolic" Preachers are under the same delusion to this day.
They hid behind a smooth sounding excuse. Hippies wore beards! Therefore all men who wear beards are evil!
They were/are so blinded they never saw the double standard with something else they love....wearing suits and ties.
Who wears suits and ties?
Hollywood actors.
CIA hitmen.
Crooked politicians.
So doesnt this PROVE that anyone wearing suits and ties must be evil?
Should they be allowed to come to Church? Much less stand on the holy platform?
This my friends is the ludicrous and hypocritical reasoning found in a great number of "Apostolic" Churches!
