As a private, moderated, Christian Message Board, we welcome people of all Christian denominations to post here. Unfortunately we also know from experience there always seem to be those select few who join solely for the purpose of mocking the faith of the members of the board or otherwise stirring up trouble for the sake of stirring up trouble. If this describes your motivation for joining, save both yourself and us the time and trouble and go elsewhere. We will not tolerate the mocking of the Christian faith, our members, and most importantly, our Lord.

We appreciate and respect other faiths and beliefs, and ask that they do the same while here. This board is for an exploration of the Christian faith, and not the faith of other religions.

As we certainly welcome all Christian denominations to participate in all the threads. While here let’s focus on our similarities rather than focusing on our differences. This should at least be one place we can all go and be treated with respect regardless of our denomination. Let’s focus on Christ and the wonderful gift of salvation. This does not mean there will not be disagreements. It is sure to happen let's just be slow to anger. We have a private message function and also a chat area that has private messaging, if you wish to get more personal.

Currently any member of the Catholic Church is welcome here. However, experience has taught us that there are certain subjects that should be avoided between Catholics and Protestants. We are not here to create a war zone of Catholic vs. Protestant beliefs. Avoid starting threads just for the sake of starting arguments, (this goes for both sides of the debate). If they are started they will most likely be moved to a queue moderated forum. Again let's please focus on our similarities rather than focusing on our differences. Let us come together to praise Jesus, not to convert from one denomination to the other. We have private areas for that if you must.

All argumentative topics should be avoided in the chat room during the fellowship meetings. Keep these discussions in the forums or during times other than assigned fellowship periods.

Bible/Christian bashing, and rude conduct are expressly forbidden. Have fun, but not at other members' expense.

Racism, anti-Semitism, or any other racial attacks will not be tolerated.

There are without a doubt many religious movements and organizations that are very questionable during the times in which we live. These false prophets and religions will often be able to perform miracles, (emulate Christ) which will further strengthen their hold, (Matt 24:11; 24:24). These movements can usually be easily discerned by the well “armored” Christian, (Eph 6:10-18). Any support of these types of movements or organizations will not be tolerated.

We are truly all sinners; however the promotion of any such habitual sinful acts that promote lifestyle changes that are contrary to the Word of God will not be tolerated.

The post which do not follow the above and the following guidelines may be deleted altogether and could lead to the member being banned.

Be gracious to other posters When someone disagrees with you, by all means discuss it; but be slow to anger, and rather be eager to get into the Word and find the answers. Remember, when discussing passionate issues, it is easy to go too far and offend or hurt another.

Respect the privacy of others do not post phone numbers, home addresses, pictures, etc.,. It could get you into serious trouble. Not from us…just play it smart.
