No they are not.

However as representatives of our Lord, we should make sure that if we wear a beard it is well kept and professional.

I tried growing a beard, but because I could not make it look proper, I decided that I was better off without it.

I sometimes wear a mustache.

How does the "professional" look square with Leviticus 19:27?

Well that was a levitical law for the priests, and we do not follow those laws.

Re: 30 Reasons To Wear A Beard!

I can't...watch the whole thing. Sorry. Too singsongy. My eyes are practically crossing. Or, maybe my ears are crossing.

Scripturally, though, I think the wearing of beards has far more support than being clean shaven. (However, I certainly don't think that a "professional" look has any correlation to godliness.--FlamingZ) By contrast, I don't think there's enough scriptural support to make beard wearing a salvational issue.

I do agree that it's an easy distinction between male and female, and it really does baffle me that most Apostolics have shunned this particular practice, considering the emphasis on gender distinction in other areas.
