  • 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

I've noticed that in the past couple of weeks we've had quite an influx of new posters to our forum. It can be very hard to tell who is here because they are a Fundie and who is here out of curiosity. First, I'd like to offer all the newbies a welcome on behalf of the Fundie regulars. Second, I wanted to start this thread to give you all a place to introduce yourselves and share a little about you. Please feel free to share whatever info about yourself you like, and perhaps some of the regulars can come and do the same. I'm hoping we can all get to know each other a little better this way. :)

I'll start. I'm des. I joined CF around September of 2006. My denominational background is Baptist and Mennonite as well as non-denominational, and I may be Joining a Christian Reformed church later this year when DH and I move [EDIT: The CRC that we checked out turned out to be full of false doctrines and worldly ideals, so it looks like we'll be at either the Baptist or the Alliance now]. I think most of the regulars here would consider me to be a moderate Fundie (if there is such a thing, lol) as I don't support the KJVO doctrine and I don't have a problem with wine in moderation. I do very much consider Scripture to be inerrant, complete, God-breathed, and absolutely authoritative. The Fundie forum is my favourite place on CF because the regulars here all share a deep love of God's word and His truth, and are not afraid to reject cultural or PC infected ideology or basically anything else that contradicts Scripture. In addition, although we may disagree on minor issues, I think this group has maintained a wonderful, peaceful fellowship, which I very much enjoy.

Hi, I'm Brent. I've been at CF since June 04. The past two years I've belonged to a charismatic mega-church that has slowly joined the emergent movement. I left that church and have been looking into PCA (presbyterian Church in America) churches. Theologically I adhere to the five points of Calvinism. Fundamentally speaking, I take God's Word for what it says. I believe that most tv (particularly today's) programs are immoral and, to watch it, violates 1Thess1:22, "Abstain from all appearence of evil." I believe that the gifts of the Spirit are still in use today. I am sick of churches watering down God's Word. If I love Christ, how can I love the things that are in the world? :)

I am a chinese christian from Singapore. I fellowship in a pentecoastal church in Singapore.

I was living and I am still living in a country with 70++& buddhist and 20++% christian.

Being a widely non-christian country, where just about every one in my family and extended family are not a believer, I know what it is like to mingle with people who cannot quite see the light of Christ like I do, and what it is also like to be seen as a fool by the majority of the people who lives here.

I used to be a very liberal christian when I first become a christian. But as I grow closer to God, I start to become more conservative in my biblical outlook. I also start to depend on the Bible for more guidance more than I rely on the world.

I have friends who really love Jesus from various different denominations, they differ greatly from me in their outlooks in look but I notice one similarity.

We all love Jesus very much!

Hi.

I am Richard and I attend St. John's in the UK. I am an Anglican although being a conservative evangelical and Reformed Anglican I am probably more of a Presbyterian with a Prayer Book :)

I am a member of Church Society and I recently had an article published in Cross+Way.

I am KJV only hence the username ;)

When I joined CF three years ago I was in fellowship with the Plymouth Brethren and adhered to Dispensational Premillennialism...oh how times have changed.

Hello. I am a Continuing Anglican, meaning membership in one of the churches that separated from the Anglican Communion in the past thirty years or so because of wanting to uphold the historic concepts concerning ordination and the literal, substitutionary sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. Both were being changed in the churches we left. The word "continuing" is used to mean that we continued the faith and ministries after the mainline Anglican churches, such as the Episcopal Church in the USA, had left them behind. I have been with CF, off and on, for a couple of years. Until the reorganization of CF, I mainly posted on the Anglican site, STR, but since the new rules, tried Apostolic churches and Conservative Christians which now is voting in favor of eliminating "Christian" from its title and doesn't want to make conservative or traditional Bible beliefs have any preference over do-it-yourself religion. I am a fundamentalist per the definition, just that as an Anglican I have some additional, not conflicting, beliefs, such as bishops and the style of worship we favor, etc. I applaud this forum for having an explicit statement of beliefs and not being uneasy about holding to them. I also thank whichever one of you went to Conservative Christians to extend the hand of fellowship and an invitation here to those of us there who were both Conservative and Christian and taking the heat for being both.

I am a non-denominational Christian. I'm a Sola Scriptura guy - I believe in Scripture's authority and inerrancy. I believe that if Scripture states something, you follow it and if it doesn't state something, people are free to do what they want with it, after prayer and according to the conscience. Anything less is just being a Catholic in reverse. I'm not KJVO, either. Whether that makes me a Fundamentalist or a Conservative Evangelical, so be it.

Don't want to be left out, just in case I pop in from time to time.:wave:

Discouraged about what has been going on around here, stuff like pagan mods being allowed to be over Christian discussions and all.

Consider myself very socially conservative, and interested in social issues (but not a social gospel).

Even though I'm charismatic, I believe the Bible is the final authority. I'm mostly KJV, but not exclusively.

We also visit a conservative Baptist church, from time to time. They use the NASB, and I would like to start studying from that. I might like to be a "Bapticostal". It's good though, we have found a solid AG church that preaches the true gospel.

Hi to everyone.

Hi folks. I've poked my head in here a few times and have to say I feel quite at home with all of you. I am a Sola Scriptura follower of Jesus Christ saved by His grace. I am very happily married to the woman God created for me and together we are raising five children, the last three being born within a span of three minutes, hence the user name Trips. We also attend a Calvary Chapel pastored by a very conservative fundamentalist and have been extremely blessed in this church God has led us to. I look forward to fellowshipping with all here. My passions are God, familly, fishing, and for the safegarding of my children - politics.

Mostly KJV, KJV is the best ever, is all quite acceptable.

KJV-ONLY gets us into a bit of an argument around here.

But Calvary Chapel?, no we can't have that sort here!

just kidding about that last bit...

I'm WannaWitness (or WW, or Witness, or however else you'd like to shorten it).

I'm of a Pentecostal persuasion, but I also believe that the entire Word of God should be taken for what it is... therefore, I consider myself a "Fundie", as well.

I read mostly KJV and NKJV.

You may see me pop in from time to time.

Hi Everybody! My name is Matthew Longley. I am a recent graduate of Commonwealth Baptist College. I am into internet marketing and web design. I believe that God has called me to evangelize on the internet. I have a website called the christiancontender.com. It is currently under construction and should be finished in August. I am looking forward to meeting many other Christians on this forum... ;)

Hello All :wave:

Just thought I'd share a little about me

- I got saved when I was 17 as a result of a Charismatic Youth Camp that my school chaplin hosted
- I attended a Baptist (Charismatic) Church for the first 3 years I was saved
- I felt I wasn't growing in my faith at the above Church so I started looking around for a new Church
- For the past 2 years I have been going to an Independant Fundamental Baptist Church - it feels like home and I love it ^_^
- Before I started at this IFB Church, I was using the NIV Bible, I now only use the KJV
-Although I have the married icon on here, I am actually getting married in a month (figured it would save me putting it up later ;) )

Lovely to "meet" you all :thumbsup:

May God Bless,
Ella
