  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Did you know....???

    Okay, I'll admit I wiggled a little on that last post. :) I came from UPC and yes we/they (not all) can be very judgemental. They believe you must follow Acts 2:38 to be born again and you are not born again until you are filled with the Holy Ghost. They also believe in one God with the...

    Did you know....???

    4000 years of the Jews still waiting on the Savior. Just because it has been believed for many years doesn't make it right. With that said, I've looked at both sides of the "discussion" and feel both sides have their points and both sides "bend" their "proof" scriptures to match their point...

    What do people think of the toronto thing & holy laughter

    Some to the best services I've ever attended were preceded with a prayer service. We didn't need peppy songs to "get us in the spirit". We had already entered the throne room in prayer. I miss those days when the choir was the congregation and whoever wanted to be in the choir only had to...

    Can you be highly anointed by God and have wrong doctrine

    Okay. I have NO bible for this, just my opinion. Yes, I believe you can be "wrong" in the head but still be highly annointed. If we all had to be perfect then none of us could do anything. I believe our "doctrine" is revealed to us over time. We pick up pieces here and there as we are...

    What's the difference between Pentecostal and Charismatic?

    Wow. Really interesting. There was a split almost immediately after Azuza Street. The split was between the Trinity-Baptism Titles and the Oneness/Jesus Name groups. I am not trying to start a discussion between who is right and wrong just trying to show that the minute God does something, Satan...

    Brownsville and other revivals- what causes them ?

    God and a willing vessel if it is real. I haven't been there so I don't know personally. (There seems to be much debate on this between the Christian fellowship.) I will say this: If Jesus is being lifted up and being preached then good can and will come out of Brownsville. We are all...

    Mathetes the kerux- who are you ?

    Mathetes I agree with your take on discernment. I grew up in Pentecostal churches and one of the biggest problems is some don't do much past getting you "born again". They focus on the outward and not the inward. Everything is fine as long as you "look" the part. With that said, I also...

    Baptism of The Holy Spirit Question

    First off, let me say I am so happy people here are experiencing God in a way never before (for you, not God :-) ). God has called you into a deeper walk. Do not be afraid! Do not be afraid to use the terms you grew up with. "Holy Ghost" is what I was raised hearing and it "feels" right to...

    Baptism of The Holy Spirit Question

    Granted, "Spirit" is a more accurate interpretation of "pneuma", but Strong's does include the word Ghost in the definition. There are many "old time religion" groups that still use the term Holy Ghost, but that doesn't mean they are inaccurate in their doctrine. I believe it is also used by...

    Baptism of The Holy Spirit Question

    I've seen the Spirit move across the congregation like a wave. I've seen people dance, jump, shout and run in the Spirit. (and not always the "babies" or new christian) I've also seen times when things are very loud that everyone at the same time becomes quiet. You could hear a pin drop...
