  • 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.

    what denomination am I?

    Yes, that is exactly what I asked. I didn't ask for anyone's opinion about what is Biblical or not. So if anyone has a problem with my beliefs or convictions, I really don't need to hear about it here. And yes, the answer I got was pretty good. Thanks.

    what denomination am I?

    I am a Calvinist. I do NOT believe in infant Baptism, but I am not a Baptist... because I don't believe immersion is necessary for Baptism. Regarding tongues and spiritual gifts; I believe they exist, but I take a cautious stance. Definitely not a cessationist. What denomination am I?

    raising support for seminary?

    As many of you may know, tuition for seminary isn't cheap. I was wondering if it is appropriate to raise financial support for seminary (send out letters to churches and individuals). Since I am just representing myself, and not any missionary organization... the concept is a little bit...

    Do Calvinists believe in free will?

    Of course I believe in the Free Will of God. But my question is... do humans have free will?

    Question about ordination...

    So if the denomination does not agree with the "change", I suppose the preacher would have to get re-ordained? I guess it makes sense that ordinations are not transferable between denominations.

    Do Calvinists believe in free will?

    That is interesting. So we have a choice with our everyday decisions, to honor or dishonor God... but when it comes to faith and salvation... we have no choice. Correct?

    Do Calvinists believe in free will?

    If they believe in the doctrine of election and irresistable grace... how can they also believe in free will?

    Question about ordination...

    Does being ordained under a certain denomination limit you to ministering to that denomination? Like, what if you decided you want to work for another church or organization in the future? Will you be accepted? Also, how do non-denominational pastors get ordained?

    the difference between Calvinism and Arminianism is...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the difference between Calvinism and Arminianism like this... ? Arminians believe that GOD uses people to further His kingdom. GOD simply cannot do it without the help of humans. So if Christians are disobedient, then the kingdom suffers. A person is saved...

    Is attending church on a regular basis important?

    It depends on what you mean by church... If you mean going to a building once a week and sitting for a little while, and then leaving... then no, it's not that important. IF you mean the other stuff... then YES, it's important.

    Hi, I don't think your church is really non-denominational. It is Baptist.

    Being Saved and Secular music

    Sure, if the music is good... I'd listen to it. But keep in mind... some lyrics are straight out of the pit of hell, and are meant to corrupt you.

    What does this mean?

    Being 'fully God' would mean He would have the ability to make himself 'fully human'. So there you go... He is 'fully GOD'.

    What does this mean?

    Gentiles and Jews generally didn't associate with each other. Yet this woman believed that Jesus was indeed GOD, and that He had the power to heal her daughter.
