Faith groups and individuals that deny the full, eternal deity of Jesus Christ or His incarnation whereby He, as God, took on human flesh (becoming fully God and fully man in one person), are considered non-Christians at CF. Posts that deny the full, eternal deity of Jesus Christ or His incarnation are considered non-Christian theology and are not allowed in "Christians Only" forums. Discussions in all "Christians Only" forums must be in alignment with Trinitarian beliefs.
After determining which faith group you fall under, open a ticket (see the Contact Us at the bottom of the website in the footer). You can request your thread to be deleted there as well.Unorthodox Christian theology may only be discussed in the Controversial Christian Theology forum. These unorthodox topics do not directly oppose the Nicene Creed, but are not considered to be orthodox on CF. These unorthodox topics may not contradict the Nicene Creed. Non-Trinitarianism may only be discussed in the Outreach category forums. Gnosticism may not be discussed in any CF forums. The Controversial Christian Theology forum is open to Christian members only (faith groups list). Unorthodox Christian theological topics include (but are not limited to):
- Annihilationism
- Full Preterism
- Open Theism
- Universalism

If you affirm the Statement of Faith, I’m sure they will change your faith icon. There are multiple Christian faith icons - one for Nicene (orthodox) Christians, and one for unorthodox Christians. Unorthodox Christians can post in some of the Christian Only forums, but not all. To be considered Christian (orthodox or unorthodox), you need to believe in the full deity of Christ.
(The rules aren’t personally against anyone - it just the standard that Christian Forums has to determine who or who isn’t considered to be a Christian for the purposes of forum posting rules.
Otherwise, there are other forums here besides the Christian forums where everyone can post. The Outreach, Discussion and Debate and Community Life forums are open to everyone.)
I am Christian, and if this forum refuses to accept me as a brother and change my Faith, then they are not good men. We preach love but do not act on it. Jesus was the only perfect man to ever exist. I haven't even read the Bible yet, I just want a place to gain understanding. 1 Corinthians something about Love is the only verse in the Bible that TRULY matters. God is love and hate is Satan.
As written, Yahweh grants understanding of salvation freely to infants, and hides it (yes hides salvation) from scholars.I haven't even read the Bible yet, I just want a place to gain understanding.
Here's the thing, Saint Black! I was once young and excitable, too, and on 'fire' for the Lord. But, becoming a Christian and knowing that you're meant to be a prophet has to also come by first gaining a clearer knowledge of the truth we have in Christ. And this means you really do need to start from a position of humility and be willing to work WITH Christ's Church in love, holiness, and knowledge and not simply as a loner, even if it does turn out that you're understanding of Christianity as it stands now is a bit unorthodox. All you have to do here, now, for CF, is abide with Love AND support the Nicene Creed, even if in a more general fashion. So, get your faith i.d. changed to Christian and plunge in in community and dialogue with the rest of us, and be able to take as well as to give.
Does this make sense?
As written, Yahweh grants understanding of salvation freely to infants, and hides it (yes hides salvation) from scholars.
However, His Word is the Standard still, also, and always.
Everything you hope, desire, dream, think, do, have, want to be, want to do, and so forth must be brought either to the cross (crucified with Jesus)
or subject to Jesus,
and His Word is the Plumb Line of Truth, as Yahweh Reveals.
If anyone departs from or rejects His Word, they are liars, and the truth is not in them.
Yes it does, my passion is endless though. I will abide by the rules. I just need my Faith to be listed as Christian.
If you believe Yahweh, and believe His Word, you will discover nothing is irrelevant.Thank you for your question brother. Also, for the record, I am straight. That should be irrelevant but I know it is not here.
