Two sections would be ok as in one for debate and one for just discussion but just one where both is allowed would be ok as well as long as it is universally open to any who want to have a say.

I support this 100%. I am mostly Southern Baptist, just happened to open my mind to UR enough to study and found it totally biblical, much moreso than God eternally torturing most of mankind.
I am now finding many Christians that are UR. These are Christians that hold true to the bible, but took the time time to understand the truth of hell. Most of us are not Christians looking for pie in the sky made up doctrine to make us feel good or excuse sin. We took time to study the bible, putting aside religeous traditions long enough
to biblically study the truth of hell and it's purpose to refine.
I do not accept age of accountability; good works for those that have never heard the gospel, or any other method of salvation, except through the saving work of Christ.
I totally oppose this idea. Such a doctrine is false and heretical.

I totally oppose this idea. Such a doctrine is false and heretical.
So is Nestorianism. We're not too hot on enforcing that, either.

The disadvantage I see is that it probably would not be a very peaceful place. UR is right up there with "Teh Ghey" as a hot button issue for some people. If you are looking forward to a quiet place to have discussions about UR, a separate forum is probably not going to provide that.
I personally like this idea. I'm surprised not more believers seem interested in exploring this concept and I'm surprised to see how many believers reject it without really understanding it. I would like to learn more about it.
I would totally support formation of a forum for this. If it's that much a hot issue for some like this brother said above, there could be rules that those who don't agree are not allowed to fight, argue or debate over it. There could be a separete area for them to ask questions and even discuss their disagreements respectfully and calmly, and if they don't follow the rules they would be kicked out of there.
Totally in favor of it, since I believe this way. Gets kinda old prowling around looking for other like minded people scattered here and there, agreeing or disagreeing with theology.It would be nice to have a home,,

Well, guys, it's going to take a lot more of us to get this rolling. Maybe if you know of any other UR who hasn't seen this thread you could send them an invite.

'AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT, 17 SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,'
Acts 15: 16 (HCSB) After these things I will return and will rebuild David's tent, which has fallen down. I will rebuild its ruins and will set it up again, 17 so that those who are left of mankind may seek the Lord—even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,says the Lord who does these things, 18 which have been known from long ago.
Acts 15 16 (NIRV) " 'After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. I will rebuild what was destroyed. I will make it what it used to be. 17 Then the rest of the people can look to the Lord. This means all the non-Jews who belong to me. The Lord says this. He is the one who does these things.'
The early Christian church believed in the salvation of all men. why not open a forum that expresses this belief. I am not ashamed of the gospel of truth and I could care less what the blind church-world endorses. They have a problem!
Revelation 13: 4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
So how much credibility do you give those who are blind and "overcome by the Dragon"! Deceived idol-worshippers ensnared by the devil came up with this "creed" ... and I do not genuflect to Roman ancient or present day! The "scarlet woman" had offspring ... represented by the protestant churches of today! They are consumed by pagan fornication typical of Easter and Christmas pollution and they all grovel for money which Jesus charged his disciples not to do! they are a bunch of Judas-priests!
Matthew 10:8. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10. Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
Isaiah 55:1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Revelation 22:17. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
There is no "filthy lucre" involved with those sent and ordained by the Father! Christianity is rife with Judas-priests! I do not respect them! Do you know the mark of the Beast in the hand is "money"?!
