  • 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.

I talked with the pastor last week and he asked me; "First, I need to ask you if you've had a 'born-again' experience?" Wow! This is what I told people in my former congregations when they would ask about my conversion! Only I referred to it as being 'born-again of the word' 1Pet.1:23 Little did I know that this conflicted with CofC teachings on conversion, which is probably why they would say nothing further to me on this matter. They teach that one is only born-again after baptism.

I think I am eating back my previous words as I am not OSAS :(


graysparrow: Could you bring some of us up to date on this please. I would really like to know because when one changes their religious convictions it is really, really, really, a serious matter.

sorry Stinker for not being more clear, I have never been OSAS and I am not, it's just that I'm not feeling very catholic at this time...

It's like I feel uneasy while doing some prayers to Mary and other issues...

but if baptists are OSAS well I'm not one of them... not meant anything wrong, though, just that I am not OSAS and I made a mistake posting in this thread.

Hope I have clarified things a bit :)
Please don't take anything as an ofense, I have not inteded to :)
