  • 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

    Baptism en Holy Spirit

    That seems to be the most often asked question and I believe your answer is sound. I left the 'possibilty' open with the "most likely they were baptized by Christ's authority before the cross" language, but your assessment shows the necessity of them being added, along with everyone else. Here's...

    Text wrap fixed on all "Baptism w/the Holy Spirit" posts

    Sorry about the readability before.. Hopefully should be getting more response now. I'll delete this message after a few days so to keep the forum clean. :doh:

    Baptism en Holy Spirit

    Also BTW.. I have this in a much easier to read format with some subtle bolding to point to emphasis on a number of things. It makes for an easier read, as well. I can send in Word '97/'03 zipped .doc, or Word '07 zipped .docx (I believe you have to have Word '07 to open, though I could be...

    Baptism en Holy Spirit

    BTW.. I love your summary of the position. Simple and cuts straight to the heart of the matter. I would be very much interested in seeing this other post you speak of. I'm sure that there are good nuggets for both of us. Very exciting and, what a coincidence! As I point out in my post, we're not...

    Baptism en Holy Spirit

    Absolutely amazing! Please print it out! You just summarized EXACTLY what it says (albeit longwindedly on my behalf). YES.. the baptism with the Holy Spirit did NOT convey the miraculous! There is separation between Acts 1:4-5 and 6-8. The Apostles were given the Comforter and Spirit of...

    Baptism w/the Holy Spirit

    Hey all.. I placed a good lesson about baptism with the Holy Spirit in the "Restoration Teaching" forum (above). Definitely not what you think, and certainly a huge pardigm shift for us cofCers (ICC inclusive). Pretty thorough study, but the ramifications for us (very good) and...

    Act 10:43 To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins. Mat 26:28 for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins. 1Jn 5:8 For there are three who bear witness, the...

    Baptism en Holy Spirit

    Our sins are remitted, washed, and cleansed by the blood of Jesus (Mat 26:28, Rom 3:25, Rom 5:9, Eph 1:7, Eph 2:13, Heb 9:12,14,22; Heb 10:19, Heb 13:12, 1 Pet 1:18f, 1 Jn 1:7, Rev 1:5 Rev 5:9, Rev 7:14, cp.

    Baptism en Holy Spirit

    I have a teaching on baptism with the Holy Spirit, but it's sort of long (6 pages in Word). Are there character/word count limits I should be aware of? I can break it up into smaller chunks if need be. I generally post at CARM, but I just found this place and it looks very nice. I was happy...
