I've been doing some research for a few days on speech patterns and mannerisms of Southern preachers, and I just now saw a video on YouTube of an Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) preacher who said that if a man is called by God to be pastor he must wear a WHITE shirt to services (no exceptions) and a tie that CANNOT be pink.

He said a man who will wear pink is clearly not called by God to do any Christian work. I know some statements are for theatrics and laughs, but this man seemed very serious. He even berated a younger pastor in the audience for wearing a dark blue dress shirt.

Is it true that a Christian man is forbidden to wear pink?

There is but one way to heaven and that is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Sin is wrong and we must repent and our faith in Christ is not head knowledge but a real relationship where we trust and hope in Him, but as fallible humans God gives us mercy, grace and love even when we falter and fail. It is the condition of our heart that matters, not the colors we wear.

All the legalistic nonsense is just that, nonsense.

If it is my grandfathers sitting next to the devil. He retired to Ft lauderdale in the mid 80s and that man had some loud as clothes. He gave me an old Pink sports jacket that I always threatened to wear to church on Easter.

What a load of idiotic, judgmental crap.

Sounds like a cult leader, telling his minions what they can and can't wear.

Aldeer members MUST wear camo upon logging onto Aldeer.....see how easy that was?

It is so sad that Religion keeps so many from a relationship.

"All the legalistic nonsense is just that, nonsense."

What Straycat said. It's a bunch of bologna.

If a person can't back up a statement with scripture, then don't listen to a word they say.

Preachers like this guy are the ones that give Christians a bad name ... and drive people away from the faith

^^^ DING DING

that is religion, not faith. probably considers the kings james Bible to be the only legitimate translation, too. mercy, miss percy.

punch him in the throat

IFB . . . . . there's your phugg up.

Just another example why man SHOULD NOT add to Gods word.

These are the kind of things turn people away from church.

How did Jesus dress? Did he really care about how well people were dressed?

Simply put, is there anti Christian symbolism behind the color? If a pink tie is worn to signify that the wearer is gay then it is not OK. If a pink tie is worn because it was a Christmas gift from your daughter, then by all means, wear it.

God knows the reason someone wears a certain color and he is the only one who counts.

I thought it meant you were going on a dove shoot with DW

Even then you better know more than just a few scriptures. I've seen many scriptures twisted to mean something that they actually don't mean.

I saw another video where an IFB pastor told his congregation not to use their iPads for Bible texts during sermons. He told them -- seriously -- that God prefers them to use a black leather Bible and only one in KJV.

Very true.
