Should we teach others to rebel against standards?

Oh then who wrote these words?

During the Hippy Generation of the 50’s and 60’s, beards sprouted on those who rebelled against society. It became their symbol. Many of that culture were draft dodgers and some even moved to Canada. A spirit of rebellion and non-conformity was connected to the beard wearing. New male converts for years have shown visible evidence of their conversion, by shaving off their facial hair when they got into an Apostolic church.
Note the bold.

That was a quote from Martin Ballestero I didn't say that. I told you that and you know that. Why are you trying to twist my words?
Matter of fact its funny how you went above and around all the real points I posted it to make.

So I'll just post it again for the record why I did in bold! "Did they have facial hair in the early days of Pentecostal outpouring in the 1900’s? Yes. Early Pentecostal pioneers such as Bro. Seymour and Bishop Haywood wore facial hair. We’ve seen the pictures.

However, in early Pentecost, especially in the white churches, there was a marked absence of beards. The beards seemed to disappear.

Many Hispanic and black men feel that wearing a mustache is symbolic of masculinity. So automatically the cultural thing is throw down like an non-debatable subject. Of course that debate ignores the church’s culture.

New male converts for years have shown visible evidence of their conversion, by shaving off their facial hair when they got into an Apostolic church. The Pentecostal scene was one of clean-shaven men for over 50 years.

Now, after a half a century or so of no facial hair on men in mainstream Pentecost, It has started appearing again. Why? What changed in their minds and why did it change?"

So I since we've been over this same quote 3 times in this thread, why do you keep pulling out stuff misrepresenting me? You are doing that on purpose! I can't say I agree with all that, but all in the bold I do agree with, because it's the truth. I just wasn't going to twist his quote and put what I agree with, and take out what I don't. But I see you don't have the same type of integrity.
