• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

do you really believe that there are no deeds involved at all?

As I posted, salvation results in good works, flowing from the new nature that God has given the saved person, in conjunction with the work of God to will and do of his good pleasure, within the saved person.

what is eternal life and how is it different from eternal salvation?

thks

Eternal Life is the very Life of God.

Eternal Life salvation is the permanent Life of God, a person receives freely. The very moment a person believes in Jesus for Eternal Life (God's free gift).
It is salvation because it keeps a person from being judged at the great white throne judgement and then being cast into the lake of fire and being permanently separated from God, the new heaven and earth.

Eternal Life salvation, saves a person from the second death.
