  • 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.

    What denomination should I study for?

    Hi Larryjf, Thanks for the reply. You're right that we don't practice communion or baptism. I think the reason we don't practice communion is because it's done with wine (as far as I know), and the Salvation Army is out to save the drunk people (therefore it wouldn't be right to save a drunk...

    What denomination should I study for?

    Hey, thanks for the information! Actually, I grew up in the Salvation Army, so I was thinking of that at first... however, I tend to be moved (feel the Holy Spirit, for example) more at the local Pentecostal church. I haven't really attended any other churches enough to grow an opinion about...

    Hey guys, Thanks for all the replies! live4grace, you're right to an extent (in the first paragraph) Although doing anything with girls is not necessarily "going out" in my books, I consider dating the step before going out... and, before I let her think that I'm that interested in her, I...

    Right reasons to resume dating

    Hi guys, Thanks again for the posts :) Intricatic, I think you have a point... perhaps I should pray and reflect. I do have temptations... normal guy temptations... but still, I feel like it's not just the looks that's making me want to date Amy... In fact, there's a lot of her personality...

    Right reasons to resume dating

    Hey, Thanks for the quick reply. Actually, I see the believer more of a "boring" person right now (and I don't mean that in an un-Christianlike sense...:))... Also, if I can remember her correctly from about 3 years ago, she had a hard problem keeping secrets, and caused some of the high...

    What denomination should I study for?

    Hey, Thanks Michael. So, to find out what I believe, should I look through different church doctrines or should I make a list of my beliefs and then compare them to the doctrines? I'm just glad now I have 3 translations of the bible and a "Find it Fast in the Bible" book here... it'll help a...
