98 per cent are balanced? This does not at all square with what I know of Apostolic Preachers. From what I have experienced I would say 80-90 per cent of Preachers are still saying its wrong either as a sin or as a "platform standard" for men to have a beard.
At least that many are still saying its sin for a woman to trim. Hardly a balance. To me these are matters of truth. Those who teach such things are simply teaching error. Now that many are finding out the erroneous nature of this are rejecting it that is a good thing. Im glad when truth prevails.
It could be these so called "conservatives" just cannot give the evidence that the truth demands. They are less willing to debate it. After all whens the last time ANY OF THEM ever tried to make a SCRIPTURAL CASE that beards are wrong? There never has been any support for it.
Instead of openly repenting for shutting souls out of the Church because of traditions of men now they simply say its a matter of the Pastors choice.
No I have not seen any real balance on this.
My last Traditional Apostolic Pastor defined perfection thus:
No wrist watches.
No beards.
No trimming hair or wearing pants.
That was my last night there.
