• 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.

There's nothing wrong with evangelism and all Calvinists believe in it. Go out and spread the gospel that's our job. Even though God through the Holy Spirit does all of the work at times he uses us as a tool so as to share his love with others. It's a blessing to be used by God.

well, there goes one reason to be a calvinist sigh..


(just kidding around.. please dont take offense at that, i just really thought if elect cant say no theres no reason to evangelise)

We don't "go out and evangelize" like some denominations do. Not street preachers or anything.

But we don't neglect to show a living Christ/Christianity in our interactions with others, and if someone asks about our faith we share it, and/or if something comes up in normal course of conversation where we might quote the Bible to be helpful or mention our faith in a helpful manner then we do.

We aren't pushy with it though... rather, it's more a living faith.

There are reformed missionaries all over the world.

But most of us are just people - living faith where we are and not pushing faith. He doesn't have to go out like a street preacher...

Missionaries are called. Not everyone is...

Most people can share the Gospel with those around them without going door to door like LDS or standing on the street like some people do.

We can share Christ with the lost by living Christianity right where we are... from normal ordinary lives and if we truly live Christ, it's a far more powerful influence than the door to door people.
