  • 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.

    Born again (born from above)

    What does it mean to be born again? Is there any difference from the normal experience of baptism? Are all Christians born again? SCRIPTURES: Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him...

    The truth about salvation that milk drinkers don't understand

    Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. Another writing I did in 2009 and still agree with today. Are ye really...

    How Can We Enter the Kingdom of God?

    Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God John 3:3 Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord, And He will have compassion...

    I believe only a few Christians will go to Heaven

    I wrote this about 15 years ago and still believe it. Years of reading the bible has raised questions inside of me if I am going to heaven when I die. For instance look at this in Luke 13: 23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24Strive to enter in...

    Born of the Spirit

    John 3:1-12 ESV Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly...

    The Holy Spirit Is Not Your Bible

    God provides His children with many things and ways to help us to spiritually grow. He gives us the written scriptures (the bible), fellowship, and most importantly He gives us direct intercession with Him through the Holy Spirit with our born-again spirit. Yet, many who claim to be in Christ...

    Why Natural Man Is Spiritually Ignorant

    Not surprisingly, on many occasions I have been asked why natural man, and in many cases churchgoers, are so spiritually ignorant when it comes to even the simplest truths concerning the kingdom of heaven. Fortunately, the scriptures offer a great deal of information to explain why this is true...

    It Is All About Having A Personal Relationship With Jesus!

    Many people believe that becoming a “Christian” will give them citizenship in the kingdom of heaven, but in the end many will find out that they were greatly mistaken. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in...

    How can I know if I'm born again?

    I have always believed in God for as long as I could remember, but I don't ever remember having a life changing experience with him:a rapture dream, speaking in tongues, etc. Although I have heard him speak to me a few times and I have felt his presence once. I have repented of sin and have been...

    What Is The Kingdom Of Heaven?

    This Video message seeks to answer the question, "What is the kingdom of heaven?" The Kingdom of heaven is in our midst. We, through the gospel, can become citizens of this kingdom if we choose to make a full surrender of our lives in this world. Today's manmade church system has drifted far...

    Is there a difference between being saved and born again?

    Is being saved when you first put your faith in Jesus? Is born again if the Holy Spirit enters you and you feel different? Should you feel different if you’ve been saved? And once you’re saved does it matter what you do afterwards? Some people say it doesn’t but some people say it does (faith...

    What Does It Mean To Serve The Kingdom Of Heaven?

    In Mathew 25:31-46 Jesus tells us, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will...

    Questioning if I'm really saved/born again

    I’ve been questioning if I have been really born again at all lately. When I converted my freshman year and had genuine positive change / fruit / felt connected to God in my life, I still justified and defended homosexuality (saying it wasn’t a sin, but there was mistranslation issues) without...
