As many of you know, for the time being, we allow guests access to most areas of the forums, and they are allowed to contribute. When they come in as a guest, they choose the name they are going to use. That name is not protected. In other words, someone can come in today and use the name Charity, and tomorrow an entirely different person can come in as a guest and use the same name, but it may not be the same person. One of the benefits of being a member is that we can clearly tell if you are a registered member when you post, and we know if we are talking to the same person.
We have had people from WCF come over here and register under the same name they had there so we would recognize them. I believe that among our registered users, those who have done this up till now are the people they represent, but it is entirely possible for someone to show up here and use a name of someone from WCF, but not be the same person. We are not affiliated with WCF, and if you do choose to sign up here and use a name like Davida or Yowm, people that were once members there, we will know you for the person you are here. There is no guarantee it is the same person that was at WCF.
I love having guests drop by and at this time, am happy to have you post or talk with us in the Shoutbox. We may have to change this down the road, and limit who can participate where, but I am happy for visitors. Still, if you enjoy conversing here, and want us to know that you are you, registering makes sense. With regard to the Statement of Faith and our Message to Visitors, those are core beliefs and expectations of conduct. This does not mean you must agree in your heart with everything we do and believe, but it means that if someone directly opposes things we hold to, you can expect the removal of posts.
I appreciate everyone that is part of this family and all sincere followers of Christ that take the time to visit with us. God bless.

If a troll comes along in the middle of the night and throws a grenade into our midst, it might take a few hours for a moderator to remove it. Don’t assume we’re okay with a rude comment just because it’s been left standing for two or three hours. If you post a trollish comment in our midst — whether you be a guest or a member — expect it to be removed. We are a Christian forum first and foremost. We are here to spread truth that exhorts the body and expounds on Scripture. While we never shy away from necessary rebukes, that doesn’t mean we’re interested in nasty, condescending, hurtful remarks that may or may not have a grain of “truth” in them. A necessaary rebuke is not a spiteful insult.

OPEN REBUKE is Better than secrete love . I will never be in anyone's 'goody two-shoes' book of accomplishments. And that is fine. I do not tow the line to any man-made doctrine and I am forever to be an outsider because I do not join the club. I have learned much from many and always I seek to consolidate it with scriptures. Some scripture have been slightly 'edited' to reflect the times in which they were written. This never limits the Lord since He is Yes and Amen. The beginning and the end. He cannot be contained but He has a unique way of communication and many and varied forms to do so. He does not need verbose people to say Who He is. Or to argue and be a 'defender' of the faith. He is The I AM, the alpha and omega. He is the Lord High God and there is no other. We have to take care that we do not steady the cart...

Be on guard Justin. Be on guard . You don't know how often I have heard that line , that scripture has been edified or words to that effect in order to accept things which ought never to have been accepted . I have found that every single scrip written is good for all times . Justin I have to admit I cringed a bit when I heard you call God , PAPA GOD . I have seen that language in many circles that have fallen so far from the truth . Not all , but most . I imagine this seeker friendly will be found in all groups by now in some form or another . You know why I have all joy and am not wearing out and becoming a seeker friendly , BECAUSE I focus on CHRIST and HIS teachings the apostels and their teachings . And one who does that Is in the right place . You wont see me warring over meats , drinks , days . YOU will see me warring over sin though . Their is no joy , like the joy of the LORD . And who so ever has that joy , HAS the LOVE of GOD and not men on their hearts . THEIR LOVE is CHRIST above all then our neighor as ourself . The wellspring of life eternal springs only from the waters that Christ does freely give . But any water trod by mens feet , no matter how small the trodding is or was , can be whiffed by a lamb long before it even puts its mouth to that trough . We better get busy focusing on Christ and what the apostels taught , and changing not even a line of what they taught . just feasting and drinking from the lamb .

Brother, this is such an excellent point you mention here, which needs to be taken seriously.......trying to steady the ark and handle the things of God with our own will and flesh is presumptuous and the end is not good. He doesn't need us to add our "help" to His. We must never try to do what only the Holy Spirit can do in the life and heart of others....we are not to take His place. Not even God violates the mind, will and personal integrity of His children....He doesn't try to control or force His way on us, but rather it is as a matter of whosoever willeth and who has ears to hear and receive the engrafted word...engrafted by His Spirit. It's not by might and not by power, but by His Spirit sayeth the Lord.

Guys, as a member of narrow ways, can someone potentially register with the name Giller, even though it has already been taken?
I mean become a member by that name even though it is taken?
And what about a non member can they come in with our names?

If they do, it will say guest, so we will know it is not necessarily you.

Giller You could even test it out by logging out and leave a comment as "Giller" ... and see what it appears like. I think anyone could do that as a guest, but like John said, it would say "Guest" so we'd know it wasn't necessarily you.

I am posting as a guest. In this case, it really is Butero, but normally, I would not post anything without signing in.

Posting in this manner required I prove I am not a robot and I had to agree to Pro Boards terms of use. Anyway, like I said, normally, I would not post as a guest, so in the future, if you see my name listed as a guest, it is not me.

When I posted as a guest, it also didn't have my church picture. There are obvious differences, but if I do see a case where someone is being impersonated, such posts will be deleted.
