Rules of Conduct

This discussion board is for Apostolic Pentecostal Christians who believe that the Bible, in its entirety, is the Word of God, is without error, and that it is completely relevant today. We welcome and encourage visitors of other faiths to post and ask sincere questions in their honest search to learn more of our faith and about our wonderful Lord, Savior, and God whose name is Jesus Christ. We do not, however, give place for the tearing down, the disputing of, or destruction of, Apostolic doctrine, the Apostolic ministry, or the Christian faith in any form. The propagation of any doctrine that is contrary to the Apostolic doctrine is not welcome here.

We do not allow any rebuking, hatefulness, name calling, or verbal attacks by any person or group of people, toward any person or group of people. Content that is unseemly, using bad language, or any form of insinuating bad language (i.e. one letter and ****), or offensive slang, is not permitted.

This administration knows that God's Word allows for rebuking and correction under certain conditions, but because of the lack of understanding by some, as well as the differing views by a multitude of readers here, and for the sake of peace, we will not permit it under any circumstances.

I guess I never read this before. Quite shocking. On the one hand, no disputing of the Apostolic doctrine, and in the Attitude section, questioning (causing dispute) of doctrine is okay. I think we need to update these bylaws. There are several here that don't believe the Word of God is infallible. And what is "Apostolic Doctrine?" There are many here that are preaching Universalism and doctrine otherwise contrary to what most consider "Apostolic."

I'm comfortable with the forum how it is, but I guess I never realized this language was in the Code of Conduct.
