Statement Of Purpose:

General Theology:

The forum for general theological discussions about issues that do not fit in any other forum, eg. Angelology

It is the hope of staff and members that all posters discuss topics with civility and maturity. The following expectations are designed to inform posters of GT of the preferred posting etiquette, and to provide information on the basis of moderation.

All members are encouraged to seek forgiveness from each other when discussions have been heated and not so kind words have been exchanged by posting here.

GT forum- the who and the what
1. Only members wearing a Christian icon (list here) are permitted to post in GT and it's sub-forums.
2. Discussion topic diversity is essential.
3. All Theology topics are permitted provided that they are consistent with the CF site wide rules here and CF's Statement of Faith.
4. All members must understand that GT is a debate forum where all points of views may be challenged.
5. Members that do not wish to have their points of view challenged should not post in GT but post in the congregational forums.
6. All members need to understand that this forum is NOT a theological safe heaven for any one denomination. Those members that prefer to discuss within their denomination's theology must post in their respective congregational forum.
7. GT does not endorse nor promote any one denomination over another and considers all of its members as equals. (Basis for moderation)
8. Healthy debate is encouraged. Healthy debate is defined as the respectful give and take between members who hold divergent POV, who provide substantiation for the points they have raised. Please remember to address the points, not the poster. Baiting and goading will be actioned under the flaming rule, as will implying or stating that another member is a heretic.
