  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

this is a reply that i gave to someone about salvation, lol im too lazy to write this again so i just copied and pasted it:

We all sin, so we must all be punished for sin. but Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, He took our punishment for sin so that we wouldn't have to be punished for it in Hell. so if we recieve His sacrifice for us, we have no punishment and we can go to Heaven, because Jesus already took that punishment. to recieve His sacrifice is simple. you have to have faith that He died for your sins and that He is the only way to Heaven, and that He rose after He died (resurected.) the bibles definition of faith is beleiving and acting on that belief, so for example, if i asked God to heal my leg, i first BELIEVE that He healed my leg, then i ACT on that believe by standing up. so believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins and He is the only way to Heaven and He rose after He died, and act on that belief by confessing it in prayer. so heres a way you can do it:

"God i believe that you sent your son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. I believe that He is the only way to Heaven and He rose after He died. please forgive me of my sins and give me eternal life. in Jesus' Name amen"

2 corinthians 6:2 says that we need to do this now, it says now is the right time to be saved from sin. so do it now ;) have any questions just message me back, this site is a good site that explains how to get saved:

Hello friend, i am a pastor, but let me tell you, there is no pastor needed for this event!!!!!
Jesus is with you right now waiting as he has your whole life to accept you!!!!
Just ask Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your life and guide you in the path that He has for you!-And he will!!!!! It's a promise!
There are no special words or any certain person that you have to go to, just go into a quiet place alone and pray to Him with ALL your heart and while you are praying.....think about the fact that He is there!!! He has already forgiven you as soon as you ask! :thumbsup:
It is very important that you get a new testament and read it everday! If you need help i am always available!

Hi N2FH,

Well ask yourself these questions, and if your answers are YES, then you can ask HIM into your life by praying the prayer below the questions.

Love in Christ

Do you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of our Almighty God?

Do you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary?

Do you believe that Lord Jesus Christ walked on this earth?

Do you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified and died on the Cross?

Do you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ died to cleanse you of all sin and to redeem you with our Almighty God?

Do you believe that Lord Jesus Christ rose again on the third day?

Do you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ sits on the right hand side of our Heavenly Father in the Heavenlies?

Do you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ has brought you back from the kingdom of darkness and bondage of Satan?


Heavenly Father, I come to You through our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank You for sending Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your Word says that if I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that our Lord Jesus Christ is Your Son. That HE was born of the Virgin Mary. That HE walked the earth. That HE was crucified on a cross. That HE died in order to cleanse me from all sin and to reconcile me to You, our Heavenly Father. I do believe this and confess this now, in Jesus&#8217; Name.

I believe that You raised our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day, and HE is now seated at Your right hand in the heavenlies. I believe that through HIS precious blood, HE brought me back from the kingdom of darkness and bondage of Satan. I believe HE paid the total penalty for all of the sins I have ever committed and that through HIS blood I am cleansed, redeemed, and sanctified, that is set apart to YOU, and Justified, that is, just as if I had never sinned.

Heavenly Father, please forgive me for the sins in my life, and I now renounce all of my sins, known and unknown. I absolutely turn from them. I turn to You, Lord Jesus Christ, and I turn away from the power of darkness, to the power of Light, from the power of Satan to the power of God.

I ask You, Lord Jesus Christ, to come into my life, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and cause me to forgive and love people in the same way that you forgive and love me. Please come and live in my heart. Change my heart, Heavenly Father, and help me to change the way that I live and think about You.

I surrender absolutely to You, and I confess, and receive our Lord Jesus Christ as my King, my Lord, my Saviour, and my Master of my life.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for saving me from myself and from Satan. I am now born again, Your child, and a member of Your family.

Satan, in Jesus&#8217; Name, I renounce you, and every avenue you have had into my life. You will never control me again. Our Lord Jesus Christ is my Lord, and I serve HIM with all my heart, mind and soul, in Jesus&#8217; Name. AMEN

A pastor cannot save you sweetheart but if you feel better then maybe you can go to a church and ask a pastor to help you.

Only Jesus can save you. Just ask Him right now to come into your heart and He will. If you would like me to help you, I will.
God bless you and give you peace, all my love to you.

Precious One,
When you walk down that aisle, the person that you talk to will walk you through the steps that the previous posters have spoken of.
They may ask you some questions...
They certainly will explain things to you.

It will not be a test time.

If you want Jesus...
If you want to be forgiven of your sin...
If you want a new life....
That's all it takes.

Know this: When you do go forward....
there will be so many at the church who will have their hearts filled with incredible joy and thus, tears.

We pray for people like you.
We are so blessed to be able to witness someone who comes forward to start a new life with Jesus.

You may feel scared.
It's okay, sweetheart.
You go girl.
God loves you so much.

After I send this post...
I'm going to go and pray for you.

Be Blessed.

Hi N2Fh,

You don't need a pastor to be save, but you need a pastor to mentor you as you run the race and walk the path.

Did you answer those questions that I posted?

Did you pray the prayer that I posted?

Love in Christ

I'am Not A Holy Man But I;am Into History
And I Can Help You A Little.

I Was Tought That Christ Comes To Us And
Saves Us With His Blood And We Become
Isreal Or The People Of God.

Also I Have Learned That God Is Just And
If A Man Or Woman Is Just God Will Not
Refuse Them. God Is Not A Ticket Taker
That You That Takes Some Kind Ticket From
A Preacher That Says Your Saved. You Must
Work Out Your Salvation

Seek Out All The True Sacraments For A Good
Start. When Seeking Truth It Comes Very
Slowly But Lies Come Quick With Emotion.
Stick To Reason It Will Not Fail
