  • 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

    is new wine fermented?

    Clearly Scripture shows us that Jesus turned water into wine (fully alcoholic), celebrated the Passover meal which required alcoholic wine, drank wine at dinners/parties and was accused of 'drinking', used wine as a metaphor for His Spirit, and instituted a Communion meal with wine . . . all of...

    is new wine fermented?

    Well, if one views the entirety of the Body of Christ worldwide, only a small fraction of believers use grape juice; the vast majority use wine and either take a single small sip from a common cup or dip the bread into the common cup.

    is new wine fermented?

    Since the communion meal was instituted to be celebrated whenever the church gathered together and is intended, when celebrated correctly (1 COR) to unify and bring special grace (health, cleansing, etc) as we come together to recognize the body and blood of our Lord, I think it fundamentally...

    is new wine fermented?

    Incorrect. New wine means fermentation has begun and alcohol is present.

    is new wine fermented?

    Yeah, it's really about weak faith. There are many forms of abuse. Should a congregation ban sex because someone was sexually abused? Or should they teach that sex is a beautiful gift of God to be used to bond husband and wife in Christ and to procreate? Should a congregation ban food because...

    Gave a prophetic message at church

    You sent an email to the entire church that was highly critical of the pastor? Yeah, well I would reject a message like that as well trusting that's not how God works. You should have met with the pastor privately first and shared your message. Then expand out to the board if he initially did...

    Wearing veils?

    Not necessarily a cult, but it does make them very legalistic and not an option i would ever recommend to anyone.

    Is this OK?

    That's the pastor's attempt to sound like he's under the influence of and speaking directly from the Holy Spirit. It's a show. It's the flesh. The Holy Spirit never overrides like that. The spirit of the prophet is ALWAYS in the control of the prophet. So if the pastor acts like that, he's...

    Scriptures showing your naivete?

    And there's a lot of naivete and ignorance in what you say . . . and I mean that not so much as an insult, but as a warning. Again, you know not what you're saying.

    So you're advising people that it's okay to mutilate the flesh like pagans and open yourself to demonic possession, which many have found to be true. Careful, you're dabbling in what you don't understand and will be held accountable now that I've informed/warned.

    You will never understand the Spirit, because you reject being able to hear from Him. Sad.

    Sola Scripture is not in Scripture :-) Paul said to follow the oral traditions as well, didn't he? And to obey the voice of the Spirit? Sorry. You're looking for the wrong law. The stone is crumbled.

    Do you believe abortion is a sin? Why? Doesn't say anything about abortion in the Bible, does it? Do you allow women to speak in Church? If so, why? New Testament clearly states they are not allowed to speak. I've provided 2 examples where you have to rely on the Holy Spirit to help you...

    Spoken like someone rebelling against the Lord. My statement about being an elder is generic. I've been an elder in several churches over the past few decades, have published as a teacher in the Body of Christ, run seminars on the baptism in the Spirit, and have been doing this for 30 years. So...
