  • 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

Is anyone familiar with this denomination? What do they teach/believe?

Bereans - Wikipedia

Some groups among the Bible Student movement also adopted the name, such as the Berean Bible Students and the Berean Bible Institute. Churches and institutions who adopt the Berean name, usually do so in order to express their desire to reflect the attitude of the Bereans in Acts 17, committing themselves to "searching the scriptures daily".

so it's not a denomination of it's own perse

If they are non-Trinitarian then I would avoid that church.
Agreed. I am remaining Catholic. I was just curious to see what they taught

There are two very small denominations called Berean Bible Fellowship and Berean Bible Society. Both of these groups are similar to Baptists in doctrine, except for their peculiar interpretation of the New Testament which holds that mainly the teachings found in the Prison Epistles of the New Testament are binding on Christians. While they celebrate the Lord's Supper, they do not practice literal baptism.
Their beliefs on the Trinity, however, are in line with the basic creeds.

That is peculiar that they do not believe in water baptism. Such a thing was completely unheard of in the early church.
