  • 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

    WHY WATER BAPTISIM HAD TO GO AWAY ??

    No, now it sounds like your just making things up with no scripture. the Spirit baptism and the outward water baptism are separate and different and not the same as scripture shows. Acts 1: 5. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days...

    WHY WATER BAPTISIM HAD TO GO AWAY ??

    Again you are using the “I have more ancient traditions and men than you do” argument. I use scripture you go beyond that which is written and put men above that which is written. For example if Paul taught that every part of the body in gatherings can edify minister use thier gifts to build...

    1676 I believe No, I like many Christian through history have refuted baptismal regeneration and I infant baptism. There are many things to read against these if you’re interested. And we’re not put men above that which is written even if they were the so called “church fathers”. Stick with...

    WHY WATER BAPTISIM HAD TO GO AWAY ??

    There are various things Peter and the Jewish believers grew in and came to understand.we see this all through the New Testament writings. For example Peter was told to go to the whole world in the great commission but he didn’t go to the Gentiles later many years later in Acts 10 and even then...

    The saving one baptism” that Peter speaks of in 1 Peter 3:21, never went away ,but he is not speaking of water baptism. The one baptism that all believers have is this one 1 Corinthians 12: 13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be...

    WHY WATER BAPTISIM HAD TO GO AWAY ??

    I did not say any said the water “itself” saves. Just as circumcision itself dies not save and yet sone believed they must be saved by being circumcised and keep the law of Moses. To add water baptism to the gospel makes another gospel if it is needful to be saved. It doesn’t mean water itself...
