Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
and If we are to judge by past performances, my guess is that the Advisors will do one of two things;
1. either do nothing and save themselves a bunch of work, or else
2. shut the whole forum down as being unmanageable.
my choice would be number 3, give each group a stand alone forum.
Do we get stand alone Jesus' and heavens when we get to... one heaven?

LOL, no, but by then we will also have the mind of Christ and everything will be clear, so we won't have anything or any need to debate among ourselves.
Right. So if you and a bunch of other people determine that the belief that fluffy bunnies are cute is an "extreme" belief, then that necessitates that anyone who believes fluffy bunnies are cute is "divisive", just because it is seen that way by some people?
You've gone from "chocolate icecream" to "fluffy bunnies"
Maybe you can help first graders with their spelling, grammar, reading and comprehension
In the end it's multiple and main stream denominations from all walks of Christianity that see WoF beliefs as extreme and divisive. It doesn't really matter what I think; American Christian TV (95% of which is WoF) is the disdain - and the shame - of the Christian world.
peace,

Because I used to work that late night shift , I knew dozens of guys from work who all flipped thru the channels late at night. Guess what is on at that time of night ? Mostly Infomericals and preachers. They all heard the gospel through late night television preachers. Some of them made fun of it but when they had a real crisis in their life they would think about God and they had seeds planted in them by listening to preachers late at night.
They used to like to poke at me about the crazy things said by there preachers because they knew I was a Christian. But I read between the lines. How did they know all these things that the preachers were saying unless they were watching them ?
If I asked any of those guys the gospel , they could tell me what it was.
Ah, but just imagine how much further down the road they would be if they did not have to wade through all the televised preacher crap and much too frequent scandals to get to the gospel.

Christianity without signs and wonders is just another religion.

That is because WOF is the favorite target of heresy hunters.WoF and Non-Wof are not opposites.
One is a positive forum for those who believe in WoF to discuss their beliefs in safe place. There is no logical "opposite" to this.
Non-WoF is a forum specifically created to be a safe place slam WoF and WoFers, A place where nobody can question, respond, or even defend themselves. There are no rules there to protect WoFers. To the contrary, those making up stories and lies about WoFers are protected from any scrutiny. They cannot be questioned regarding anything they say, even when the things they say are blatant lies. They do not have to offer proof or expanation. If you want to say WoFer are all rapists and child abusers you can... without explanation or query. It is the only place in CF that is set up this way. It's title tells you exactly what it is. It is non-WoF.
So you are correct. There is no other place like non-baptist or non-catholic or non-pentecostal. Not only is the non-wof forum it a safe place to gossip and tell stories about fellow Christians, but chances are this thread will be shut down and we may be reported for even discussing the issue. Not only are we at risk of being reported, but we may receive infractions for even mentioning the name of that forum.
It is truely an amazing thing to exist on a "Christian" forum.
That is because WOF is the favorite target of heresy hunters.
Well I'll just say that I've no idea what to do with the lot of you
But actually I still don't really know what would be best here.
I think this is what I want or need now: I'd like everyone to make one final post laying out what *you* would like to see happen, or think should happen. I encourage you all to post. Or, if you'd rather keep your thoughts private, you can PM me and I'll gather your opinions but can leave your name out if any suggestions are taken up with others and all that.
I'll take all those posts and gather them up and go off and see what comes up. I'm not promising any changes one way or the other.
I would like to see the forum remain as it is, although i do agree that the Non-Wof forum name should be changed, possibly to just Charismatic but that suggestion has caused strife in the past.
See the WoF thread on how to react to unfair accusations.
At some point you just have close the mouth, take the smacks, and thank Jesus for the opportunity and honor to exist in the same universe as Him.
