Ecclesiology 201 Guidelines
Discussion on matters of general mainstream Christian churches. What are the differences between Catholics and protestants? How has the charismatic movement affected the church? Are Southern baptists different from fundamentalist baptists? It is also for discussions about the nature of the church.
This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and theists. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining “Christian” for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions. Additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101.

Maybe she was one of those OATH KEEPERS that invaded the Capitol!!!!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

So while the contents of the website might not be bad in itself, it's the whole commercializing the gospel and how to preach it that bugs me. If pastors need a guide to follow to preach the gospel, then they are in the wrong job. also, I don't like cookie cutter churches, and this seems like an attempt to make all churches the same. Teaching the same thing, the same way, etc.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

This week, one of my newsletters introduced The American Reformer as a new group trying to help Protestants deal with the world.
The initial postings look good but do we really need another set of Christian elites talking to other elites? It just strikes me that all these groups have minimal impact on the person in the pew. Awhile back I use to look at Gospel Coalition until the articles all seemed non-applicable to what I was experiencing.
Is Christianity in America helped by all these groups (9 Marks, American Reformer, Gospel Coalition, etc.)?
You can check American Reformer out if you want. https://americanreformer.org/"For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6
