If we accept your doctrine that men with long hair (or hair of similar length to former First-Lady Jackie Kennedy) have fallen from grace, then John Wesley has to be included in that category of people that fell from grace.

Finally, are you misinterpreting what Paul said about grace? Was it Paul's grace that he was preaching or was it the grace of Jesus Christ? | |||
You cannot take one scripture and base a teaching on it. Look at what Paul said elsewhere: | |||
:''I thank my God always on your behalf, for the '''grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ'''.'' (1 Co 1:4) | |||
:''I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into '''the grace of Christ''' unto another gospel.'' (Ga 1:6) | |||
:''That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.'' (Eph 2:7) | |||
Paul did not say "my grace", he pointed to "his grace", the grace of Christ Jesus. | |||
