  • 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

    How To Understand : Acts 2:38

    Standard Christian belief by which also you are saved is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures; 1 Cor 15:1-4 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly...

    How To Understand : Acts 2:38

    I've been 'articulating' all along that the blessing in Christ is received by grace through faith. Which happens to be the view of every sober-minded Christian. 1 Peter 1:13 Reconciled in Christ And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that...

    How To Understand : Acts 2:38

    In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through what he suffered [Heb 5:9] For both He Who sanctifies [without holiness no one will see the Lord Heb 12:14] and those who...

    How To Understand : Acts 2:38

    So now I affirm to you this united with the Lord, that you must no longer live in the past as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. Eph 4:17-19 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1 Peter 2:24-25 For the...

    How To Understand : Acts 2:38

    Perhaps you didn't like the answer: Post-121 Follow the pattern of those who by faith inherit the promise. It is not as though the word of God failed...[Gal 4:6-7] That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as...

    How To Understand : Acts 2:38

    God unites us in the Son [God made you alive with Christ Col 2:12-13] and the Son unites us in the Father.

    Could a born again Christian give me a prophetic word?

    When He has come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; John 16:8-10 Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was...

    How To Understand : Acts 2:38

    You said it is not a formula, or procedure but it's safe to say that there's a pattern by which many were approved. They were cut off because they ·did not believe [were unfaithful], and you were approved only because you believe [stand by faith]. Rom 11:20 This is the victory that has overcome...
