  • 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.

so confused....

I attended a Free Will baptist church last Sunday. It was a nice church, but not sure if it is for me, after much prayer. I am looking into what other churchs are available in the area. Wow, there are tons of baptist churches. Now, i am running into a problem....there is Independent, Free Will, Southern, American and I don't know how to figure out what the differnces are. I attended a Independent one in Ca, and to what I understand it means the church does not answer to an association. The Free Will one I just went to was explained to me that there is an assocaiation, but they do not really answer to it, they are a mission church, and it makes it so they can go to other churches to build their own. I do not really know what a church being part of an association means. If anyone, or a number of you can help me out, I would appreciate it. I don't want to not look at a church because I do not understand what the title of the church stands for. I want a bible beliving, Jesus loving church. I just want to glorify him.
