• 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.

From my understanding:

1. Presbyterianism (not sure about Reformed Churches or UCC)
2. Southern Baptists/other fundamentalist Baptists
3. Pentecostals/Assembly of God (does not)
4. Some Evangelical denominations
5. Some Holiness denominations (does not)

Anyone else?

You may what to double check Assemblies of GOD. I know our church doesn't promote once saved always saved.

If a church has Presbyterian in the title, they are almost always Reformed. Reformed is essentially a synonym for Calvinist--I know there are still some groups who use the label that aren't Calvinist, but by and large Reformed means Calvinist and Calvinism inherently involves eternal security.

Where things get a little more complicated with the term "Presbyterian" is that there's uppercase Presbyterian and lowercase presbyterian. Lowercase presbyterian is a form of church organization that is, as one might guess, practiced by uppercase Presbyterian churches, but churches that aren't Presbyterian can still be presbyterian.

Nope, definitely not. Pentecostalism emphasizes the importance of ongoing faith, repentance, and a transformed life. Pentecostalism teaches that a believer can fall away from grace and salvation can be lost through persistent sin and a lack of repentance and through apostacy.

The Holiness Churches follow John Wesley teaching conditional security.
Thanks for the info!
