  • 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

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    Nah, Bob, there's no doctrinal reason really... that's why I would never argue or cause an offense about this with anyone. Or even feel it's necessary to preach. Either way, the bottom line is that we have the Holy Spirit today living and abiding in us and doing miracles through us! It's more...

    Help - Wife speaking to dead people!

    James, tell your wife to forgive the person whom she has held so much bitterness towards. She is free from them, and needs to let it go. It hasn't just affected her soul, but her body also.

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    Yes, I enjoyed the conversation as well. I will share two last scriptures in response to the above about Jesus already being all of those things. Hebrews 2:10, "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of...

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    What I meant was, the disciples and Jesus himself exercised the power of the Holy Spirit in the ministry of Jesus. But this was an anointing of the Old Covenant. However, you want to say that, but I'll stick with the Biblical term anointed. Even so, these disciples of Jesus were not at the...

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    I'm glad we're having this convo. Likewise, your answers are helping me as well! Causing me to be even more thorough! Ok, first I think you misunderstood one thing about my assertion. I DO NOT believe that Jesus DIDNT have the Holy Spirit. Of course He had the Holy Spirit and it was by...

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    Okay, I think I've caught up on my reading here. Though sometimes it is hard to keep track of who is saying what! Hah :) Bob, I think that we are in agreement in most of what we are saying with this exception: You believe that Jesus had the perfect indwelling "gift" of the Holy Spirit as...

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    Thank you Bob for the support. I agree with you 100% as well about the woman with the issue of blood reference. I believe Jesus only knew what the Holy Spirit revealed to him. In fact, I believe from a legal standpoint, our redemption demanded that our savior be FULLY man. Where the first...

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    Thank you Harry for the very thoughtful response. You were very thorough and your scriptural references really helped me take some more things into account. One question: Do the "filled with the Spirit" references imply they were literally filled inside? Perhaps someone with a bit more...

    Thank you for the feedback Bob, and Mike! I really appreciate it. Yes, Mike, I do want to keep the podcasts fairly brief in length as I've found most people won't sit down and listen to something much longer. (Found that out from posting my full length sermons.) Hehe... It is definitely my...

    Jews no Longer the Chosen People

    How terribly proud!!! The Vatican should be reminded of this: "And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast...

    Back up your faith

    Great post! I was edified! I can see people reading this, taking action with the power of Christ in their lips, and putting the Word of Faith to work in their life!!!

    Did Jesus Have the Indwelling Holy Spirit?

    I've never shared this before, as any time the Lord shows me something I've never heard taught, I must be sure before I say anything. I think that I can be sure, but I would like to put it before others that will answer according to the Word. So here goes: Jesus, in his earth ministry, did...

    Hi all! I just happened to stumble across this forum. I was really happy to read the Word of Faith statement. All I can say is, AMEN! Where I come from, it's not many who believe this way. I'm a pastor in a small town in Missouri. I'm 24 years old. And I am excited to hopefully...
