We look at every reported post. Most require attention.

AFF FORUM RULES

Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

Those that believe that every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith
with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Rules of ConductThis 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.



There is no way that anyone who has been here more than a month can say that the above, especially the bold, has been enforced or adhered to.

I guess I've been in the dark, I haven't really seen where any of the above, especially the bolded, has taken place.

I suppose if we really adhered to the forum rules, we'd deny anyone membership who was not Apostolic, no matter how sweet their spirit.

This just seems like such an elitist mentaliity that you're propogating here, Scotty. If you are sincere about reaching souls, you better get ready to have people vehemently disagree with your belief structure, and then you better have patience to work them thru it - and from the tone of your posts, I think that patience is severely lacking in your spirit at this point.

JMHO.

Probably none, but he's extremely vocal as a newbie.

I personally wouldn't call it three stepper, because I believe that there are more steps than simply seeking forgiveness, being baptized, and receiveing the HG. I believe everyday is a "step closer" to Jesus in our relationship w/him.

With you I stand humbled, I have reported zero, and like Felicity has said I didn't think it would matter much. stmatthew and boomm were just involved in such posting, being admin themselves I figured they all knew. Plus me being new here, didn't want to stir the pot till I was sure where the forum as whole stood. Honestly , I still don't know.

But I know where you stand and you are correct, we could possibly have only ourselves to blame for our inaction.

Because admin was involved in some of the posting that I felt might have been reportable. In other words they were not in a neutral position.

You asked.

Huh because your answer had nothing to do with what MP posted.

Jesus was here to spread the gospel (or the good news) and he discussed his beliefs with the Pharisees in the temple - - did he not?

We have many admin and when an admin is involved in a reported post, the other admin are the ones that handle it.
