Guess so. One of the musicians at my church has a pretty full beard. He keeps it neat and trimmed though.

Reason enough to keep shaving.

It saddens me. Around 40,000 people die every day from hunger. Yet Pentecostals typically spend more time arguing over facial hair than feeding the hungry.

In violation of Leviticus 19:27.

Huh? Lev 19 is addressed to "all the congregation of the children of Israel". But that sill isn't you, though, I agree. So it should be fine to trim your beard or prostitute your daughter. I guess.

Have had the beard every since, a few years ago...

(It's a platform rule too.)

That's the tragedy. Apostolics KNOW Christ had a beard. Yet they think somehow its wrong, or that he was not well groomed or "professional" looking!

Furthermore at least when I really wanted to be in an "Apostolic" Church you were outright considered in sin. How could I invite people to Churches that taught it was sinful to wear a beard? To have to explain to people altho this is the "true Church" they forbid wearing something Christ wore?

We tried another Apostolic Church last year. Same type of thing. No fellowship at all. Same platform rule.

That's because by and large legalism has stunted the growth of Apostolic Pentecost. We're weighted down with too many man made rules and dogmas. And God will visit those who have done this. I shudder to think how God will deal with almost an entire generation when they stand before Him.
