Should we teach others to rebel against standards?

That's very reasonable.

But what do you do when every Apostolic church in your area would rather you not attend, or would relegate you strictly to the pews, on account of your beard? You know it isn't in Scripture. They know it isn't in Scripture. Yet their tradition is clearly more important than your family's eternity. Where do you go? What do you do?

For example, in my situation, I can't just "go somewhere where it is ok"... unless I'm wanting to go back to a non-Apostolic fellowship. Which isn't what I want. I just left one. lol
