  • 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

Not to be a dream killer or anything but the bible tells us that new believers shouldn't be pastors. Given that you where just baptized, you might want to shelf that one for later.

Unless of course you are part of a church where people belive for years and years and years before they finally decide to be baptized. . .

If that is the case then I have little good to say.

iVE BEEN with my church ever since I can remember.

& yes, the way our church works is very similar. My parents wanted to let me get baptized on my own when I was ready to embrace God to my fullest.

Then I will just leave it at that, because I don't want to provoke a pointless argument. However our theologies and understanding of the faith are so completly different that it would be impossible for me to give you practical advice that did not start with changing churchs and theologies. Good luck to you regardless
