Topics · Post Article

Types of threads and guidelines pertaining to the Religion Forum:

Prayer threads are closed to debate of any kind. Devotional threads are closed to debate of any kind.

Caucus threads are closed to any poster who is not a member of the caucus.

If it says “Catholic Caucus” and you are not Catholic, do not post to the thread. However, if the poster of the caucus invites you, I will not boot you from the thread. The “caucus” article and posts must not compare beliefs or speak in behalf of a belief outside the caucus.

Ecumenic threads are closed to all “anti” arguments.

The article of an "ecumenic" thread can discuss more than one belief - but it must not be a direct attack on other beliefs. Posters may express the beliefs they are “for” but not those they are “against.” They may also ask questions. Posters who try to tear down other’s beliefs – or use subterfuge to accomplish the same goal – are the disrupters on ecumenic threads and will be booted from the thread and/or suspended.

Do not “pick at scabs” by mentioning prior “open” threads. If you need to make a point previously made on an “open” thread, summarize it anew.

Open threads are a town square – posters may argue for or against beliefs of any kind.

They may tear down other's beliefs. They may ridicule, similar to the Smoky Backroom with the exception that a poster must never “make it personal.” Reading minds and attributing motives are forms of “making it personal.” Thin-skinned posters will be booted from “open” threads because in the town square, they are the disrupters.

Please add me— It will be a refreshing breath of air to read a thread without experts who know everyone else has a “false doctrine”

"I would like to use this caucus to begin accumulating names for a religion forum ping list"

I think you used a potty word. I'll check with the LPFOKETT GAHCOEEP-w/o* and get back to you.

**I welcome all nondenominational Christians **

I would love to be on your ping list.

BUT FIRST, send me a Doctrinal statement of the beliefs!

I was raised in a “non-denominational” or more accuratly, a non-Doctrinal, highly legalistic home church so I am leary of non-denom’s till I see their beliefs. A Christian friend in New Mexico managed to help me break those legalistic chains in 1973.
I have been “FREE” from Legalism ever since!

I have never been a member of any church but became a member of His church when I accepted Him as my Savior when I was 6. I love theology, can I join?

Has anyone heard from the RM or AM about whether we can continue non-denom threads.
This one appears to doing ok but we really haven't posted any “religious” or “theological” stories/news reports/observations.

I welcome all nondenominational Christians

I belong to a nondenominational church that has chosen to affiliate with the SBC for mission and church planting purposes. Though we are Baptist in many ways, calvangelicostal would be a better description of us.

If I am welcome, please add me to your list.
