  • 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.

    Saved by Grace?

    Has anyone read John Beveres book Driven by Eternity. He definatly suggests Salvation has to be earnt and claims God told him to write the book. On the other hand John Crowder writes that its completey grace and we are now sinless. Both use scripture to further their arguments and both are on...

    Centering Prayer/Christian Meditation.

    Does or has anyone here practiced it. If so did you find yourself drawing closer to God and experienceing more of his manifest presence.I know James Goll has written a book on it

    Soaking music/Binaural beats

    My facts are correct. Todd preached about Emma prior to Lakeland. I should know as I was following his podcasts long before Lakeland. Yes I know Todd entered into an unhealthy relationship during the revival, I never questioned that.

    Soaking music/Binaural beats

    Todd was not in an adulterous relationship when he first encountered Emma,- it was long before Lakeland. Emma first appeared to Bob Jones back in the early 80s I believe. I agree though that it is problematic that his book and websites were edited and information changed. In regards to Swift...

    Soaking music/Binaural beats

    Habitual Sin and Loss of Salvation?

    Tamara. The works in progress view implies a greater or different kind of grace than alot of charismatic preachers preach. What about the christian with unresolved habitual sin who is repentent but continues to grow in the sin rather than the holy spirit, yet that person had deffinatly...

    Habitual Sin and Loss of Salvation?

    So would you agree from what youve said that the one who cannot overcome sinful patterns and the fufilment of the flesh [ even though their failiure goes against what he/she desires to do in Christ ] is not saved? If this is the case is it only the mentally strong, who can control their thought...

    Habitual Sin and Loss of Salvation?

    As christians we hear so much about dramatic conversions to Christ and instant deliverance from sinful patterns and desires. What happens though if somebody commits their life to Jesus and then finds it impossible to overcome sinful behaviour. For arguments sake the alchoholic who becomes a...

    Soaking music/Binaural beats

    Well what about Alpha and Delta levels of meditation? Is it wrong for a christian to practice this? God afterall is the creator and these levels of conciousness and spiritual awareness were originally designed by him. Why is it then that all this is handed over to the occult without debate. I...

    Ghosts

    Haven't moved on to where?-If the person/spirit was not a christian they will not be in heaven. So I guess the question is do people go straight to hell or end up on another plane, or possibly suspended between here and there until the final judgement. Do you know of those verses?-No I don't...

    Ghosts

    I was thinking about how Saul sought the medium in order to contact Samuel and it got me thinking about the whole subject of ghosts from a christian perspective. If as christians we go straight to heaven after death where do non-christians go before the judgment? How do we account for ghosts...

    Word from Holy Spirit

    Tobias. People who follow the spirit often find western church based christianity at odds with their paths and experiences. Im sure I dont understand where you are coming from because I havent had your walk but Ive got a feeling that God expands into greater and more expansive things the more we...

    Blue Light In My Room

    To Katrat.The blue light could be the formation of a heavenally being manifesting, and/or Angel. Blue lights and orbs don't have to be exclusivley from the dark side. It could also be the babys spirit attempting to communicate, which would obviously link it all together. I know its easy for me...

    Word from Holy Spirit

    Wow. Firstly I hadnt realised how many people here were also waiting on promises that have yet to manifest in the physical. Sadly this doesnt makes things any easier for any of us. When did praying and hearing the voice of God become so complicated? I know less now as a christian than I did when...
