Ben and Dave discuss hats in church and a follow-up question on Cessationism. Scroll down to see the questions in their entirety. 1. It bothers me when I see men wearing baseball caps or hats in church. Am I bordering on legalism? Or is it biblical for men to remove their hats in church? 2.

Could you expand on where we see miracles and signs end in the Bible?
