The Congregation-Wide Guidelines apply to this forum. They outline the basic membership and debate guidelines for this forum. Additional guidelines are explained below.
Statement of Faith:
Members of this forum agree with the Official 28 Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventist Church and hold to the message that makes us different.
Additional guidelines on debate:
The main SDA forum is mainly a fellowship forum. Adventist members may give answers to questions asked, in accordance with official church statements and the 28 Fundamental Beliefs. Questions that are likely to lead to debate should be asked in the Debate/Discussion subforum.
The Debate/Discussion subforum allows debates among members and non-members who are studying Adventist beliefs with the intention of joining the Adventist church.
The New Adventist/Bible Study sub-forum does not allow any debate. Only designated teachers may start or lead Bible study threads. Designated teachers must be members in good standing of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for at least one year, must have an application on file, and sign in monthly at the sign-in thread within the forum. Any teacher violating any of the rules of this sub-forum will lose their teacher status, and their study thread will be closed. Bible studies can deal with any subject that is in harmony with Scripture. Studies and their discussions must be in agreement with the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist church.
"A Special Message from your Moderators..."
Sabbath is our time with God. In addition to resting and worship, the Sabbath is reserved for a quiet time of fellowship and Bible study for us.
Therefore during this time period, we kindly request that fellowship replace debate, to allow members to observe the Sabbath according to their beliefs. You may not see us working reports during this time (unless it's an emergency), and while we will still be here for you, we encourage members to rest and relax with us.
Please take into consideration the different time zones as well, and respect that even though your Sabbath may be over, others may still be in theirs.
This is a draft. Feel free to give inputs and make modifications.

I'm gonna say a quick prayer that our forum turns into the vision we've had for it all along and that true fellowship and learning will be blessed there.
I'm very happy right now.

You may also want to say up front that if a person is not in the right place, they might go to the progressive et all forum. I'll make the same suggestion to them. That's what the Charismatic Catholics have done in their FSGs. It might look like this:
__________________ Many people think that the question should be: have you made Jesus your Lord? Have you invited him unreservedly into your heart? Have you completely dedicated every part of yourself and your life to him?
The trouble is that when we are truthful, the answer must always be "No." So let's ask the question a different way.
Has Jesus given everything for you? Has he dedicated his whole life to you? Has he invited you into his heart? And the answer to that is a glorious and gracious and conscious, freeing, comforting YES!
(paraphrased from Pastor Wolfmueller, Table Talk Radio)
