  • 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.

    I have two questions regarding tongues ?

    I would think that if the verse said that you speak to God and speak mysteries, I doubt Paul could understand the angelic language. He understood the scriptures and biblical truths. That's the mysteries he understood. But yes, he did pray and speak in tongues. I doubt the biggest apostle of all...

    I have two questions regarding tongues ?

    There is a gift of interpretation. Also, you're reading that wrong. Only God can understand in that instance. Xenolalia is the gift that can be interpreted. When you speak to God in a tongue, it is the language of angels. Corinthians 13:1 " Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels...

    I have two questions regarding tongues ?

    1 Cor. 14:2 (NLT) " For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious. " That is just one example. It is obvious it is a...

    I have two questions regarding tongues ?

    1. There are two versions of tongues. One is xenolalia, which is a actual language. These need interpretation. The other version is glossolalia, which is a prayer tongue. No one can understand nor translate it -- only God. 2. When someone interprets it, you will tell if it came from God. If...

    Can A Christian Go To Hell?

    I'm split on this subject. Bob is right about this, but I've always questioned my personal beliefs regarding the subject. I can't tell if I'm more Calvinist or Arminian.

    Whats the diference between The CoG and AoG ?

    Assembly of God is more of a Charismatic movement with less noise and less of the slaying in the spirit and speaking in tongues, depending on where you go, though it has a lot of Pentecostal beliefs. In a Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) it is all out Pentecostal and they run the aisles...

    Views on denominations who pray to those other than God.

    They claim they don't pray to Mary.. they plead for her to pray for them. That's what they claim but it does sound like a prayer to me. Read the Catholic statement of faith.

    What do you believe about your words having power?

    Joyce Meyer and Joseph Prince are really into it because they are "Word of Faith". Try that forum if you want to hear people defend it. But typically I think as long as it is not sinful words that it won't cause too many problems. But some people believe speaking negativity over your life can...

    If there was no Baptist church to attend.....

    Probably Presbyterian because they are closest in doctrine. Just not the PCUSA because they allow gay marriages in their churches.

    Baptist Turning Anglican?

    I have no disrespect for anyone else's religion but the fact that scripture is thought of equally to tradition to me is a turn off. Also, the style of worship is much different and there is no room for the spirit to move In their congregations.

    Failed as a Christian

    Anyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved. Yes, you can lose your eternal life, but if you love Jesus, believe in him, and feel convicted when you sin, his spirit is indwelling you. The bible only gives instructions on how to grow in your salvation. There is no requirements.
