  • 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.

    Baptismal Regeneration

    if he is a born again Christian he was baptized period. only way to be born again is through the Spirit. john 3:3-8. Spirit baptism is the one baptism of salvation. It is the one That God does alone. Titus 3:5-6. To believe one is saved by getting water baptized is to believe one can be obedient...

    "God has bound salvation to the sacraments, but..."

    problem with your thinking is that how do you do acts to or for God or how is one obedient outside salvation to do such things as sacraments. And if saved before doing sacraments and the spirits is already in you what need is there to RECEIVE anything else. you simple look into the Spirit within...

    Hummingbirds Disprove Creationism

    don't mean to be rude but I have debated a lot of evolutionist and your not very good at it. I am sure evolutionist are certain the theory is fact and that there is NO other option. hard to think out side the box with this view. they will always find the evidence to fit into the theory. and...

    Hummingbirds Disprove Creationism

    that is a complete lie. no factual evidence of this at all. One as no idea of ones actual faith or belief or salvation. what one says means nothing in regards to actual salvation. For one there are many who claim Christianity and do not even believe in scripture or some main tenets of it. some...

    Does communion have a role in salvation?

    oh good. matthew 26:28 isn't about the eucharist or communion as in the rite of doing it. it is his actual sacrifice. Rites do not give us anything. All the sacrifices of the old testament didn't either. their sins were held over till his sacrifice.

    "God has bound salvation to the sacraments, but..."

    except he didn't ordain them. which is why I say man made. in the old testament his rites and sacrifices etc were to be done in specific ways and times. yet in the New testament we are to simple decide on our own when and how and what for. there is no definitive passage that gives proper detail...

    Carson goes on offensive against Wall Street Journal

    again your adding to the article info not there. not that it matters. all this is so trivial to try and discredit him its asinine. your attempting, as they did, to fill in blanks that you cant.

    Carson goes on offensive against Wall Street Journal

    your just saying stuff. doing the same thing they accuse him of doing. assume things not at all proven by anything. they call him a liar but they do the same thing as you do here. because they cant find proof means he lied. maybe its that there isn't anything out there to actually prove it 100%...

    Ben carson lying about honesty

    if you go to his web site he gives article from school talking about it. maybe we shouldn't respond to such stories for a few days to see if there actually true so we don't look dumb or rather politically motivated. if this is all they can come up with to discredit him I think he is just fine...

    "God has bound salvation to the sacraments, but..."

    the sacraments are man made theology. your strong feeling is correct teach Christ crucified for sins. teach a new birth through the spirit.

    "God has bound salvation to the sacraments, but..."

    where is the passage that details this "means of grace" I just cant find it. and he doesn't plainly say communion or eucharists forgives sin. unless you have verse of it. if it was so plain why did many leave and why did he say in verse 63 that what he spoke of was his spirit and they are life...

    Let them come

    actually in water baptism one general should now what its about. to many simply do it because the church they attend says it is reguired. I know many that did it simply because they were told if they didn't they weren't actually saved. as for the communion it says to not do it unless you forgive...

    Let them come

    agee with the last part but it is not specifically given sacraments. the sealing is spoke of in eph. 1:13-14. the holy Spirit seals us and strengthens us. those sacraments may helps many but its not the act itself but the Spirit in them that helps. in times of need one doesn't wait for the...
