  • 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 does one know?

    Oh wow, I apologize for the long post. I will try and keep all future posts shorter. But I think I have pretty much said all I can about it from my view point. It's been an awesome discussion. Bless God.

    How does one know?

    Hi - I don't consider this in any way agruementive. I have truly enjoyed everyone's posts and wisdom! The forum is wonderful and it has been a blessing. This is sad but too often true. I know if I am praying in the spirit or with the mind, and I am not focused on God it is a distraction...

    charasmatic

    I agree with Ken. Biblically the word is defined as a Gift of His Holy Grace - when we become a regenerated man. The worldly nature in english has become to describe someone or a church - who has a certain indefinable quality which attracts people to their personaility or the churches style of...

    Demon Possession

    Amen Alabamaman - I do agree in my opinion that if you are under the blood covering covenant Satan and his demons can not cross that line, but I do also believe that we can fall prey to sin and allow these demons back into our lives if we don't plead Christ's Blood through faith and stay away...

    Demon Possession

    Hello all, this is just my opinion. God the Holy Spirit is OMNIPRESENT, meaning in all places - so if this is the case, how can demons dwell anywhere at all if the two can not be in the same place at the same time? No where does the Bible say specifically that a Christian can be indwelt by...

    How does one know?

    Hello All, This would be pretty true for what I have been battling. What Quaffer says. about what is happening in the church I left. 10 Months of asking and seeking God's truth has revealed many things that are unsettling. I do believe - and maybe I did not make myslef clear about it -...

    How does one know?

    Hello all. This is more what I was refering to. When someone is told hey - go pray over this person in tongues - and they are not in the "frame" of mind for prayer etc it isn't from God - it's more like memorization of a few words and repeating them. Deliberate deception? Counterfeited? There...

    How does one know?

    Hi Everyone! I have enjoyed reading the topics of discussion here about speaking in tongues. Since I am new to the forum, I hope you don't take my posts as too forward or rude. It's nice to meet you all. In the church I recently left I had some issues with certain members speaking in...

    What is your relationship like?

    It's being obedient while still being an individual. We are all wonderfully made by God! I have a strong personality and I am no longer conformed to this world. It's nice being me and knowing God is on my side. I have my up times and down times. But all the while I have His Holy Spirit and...
