  • 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.

Hello everyone, I am a backslidding christian who is trying to get right with the Lord. I am not sure whaether I am still saved or not. I want to be.

I am looking for a local church, bible studies and a group of Christians (on and off line) to help me grow in Christ. I know without the support of Christians around me, I will never stay right with God.

I have backslidding for many years, and I am not sure if I am still saved. I have had people tell me that I have lost my salvation, and other people tell me that once you are saved it is permanent. I even had someone tell me that I am lost without hope for I sinned an unforgivable sin by turning by back to God. I am really confused here and would appreciate some feedback, so I know what I have to do to get right with God. Thank You.

that is the 'once saved always saved' issue that is being debated endlessly..

think about it, if a person said he believes in God but later rejects God outright, then that person has definitely fallen away. Remember the parable of sower?
so by backsliding, does that mean you're not saved? not really. Backsliding is just the process in christian maturation. Many christians backslide, but many more climb back up and got a firm footing instead. I think your issue has more to do with 'the process of becoming Holy/christlike'.

you might want to ask the question in "New Christian" forum here
