  • 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

    Speaking in tongues

    Hi all, thank you so much for all your replies. How I understand it - if you ask God to give you the gift of praying in tongues, and you start saying whatever comes up in your head in faith, you must believe that it is from the Holy Spirit.

    Speaking in tongues

    How do you know that you are really praying in tongues and not only imagining it? I believe in the praying in tongues, I'm just wondering how you will KNOW that it is the real thing. Will it neccesarily be a dramatic event when you first start praying in tongues?
