Community Rules

We ask all our members to follow these simple rules...our community will run smoother and be sweeter if we do.

• Let the words of your mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable unto God. This means that your message must not be crude or offensive. If the management finds your message to be crude or offensive, it will be edited with the delete key.
  
• Love one another....this is the happy way.
  
• NO DEBATING. Teens-4-Christ is not a 'debate' site. You will not change our minds, do not try. A quick read of Romans 1 will show that those who debate are in the company of adulterers, sodomites and murderers. Therefore, debating will not be allowed.
  
• Please treat each member with respect. Differing opinions are bound to occur on the message board, but rude and hurtful messages will NOT be tolerated.
  
• Please do not post entire messages in all caps...........doing so is symbolic of shouting in oral language......we can all "hear"!! and some people truly get offended.
  
• God's Word is the final authority on all matters.
  
• Teens-4-Christ is a King James Version Bible site.....please use King James Scripture when posting Scripture reference. failure to do so will result in the editing or deleting of your post. Your account may also be deleted or banned.
  
• Abstain from the appearance of evil....you never know who is watching or reading. Though we do our best to protect your privacy, this should not be considered a private forum. One thing for sure....Jesus is watching.
  
• Any picture to be posted on The Board must be approved by an administrator before it is posted. If you post a picture on The Board, everyone in the picture must be modestly dressed (by our standards), not promoting any sinful activity (including any premarital physical contact), and not crude in any way.
  
• We are taking every measure possible to ensure your safety. Please do not defeat our attempts. Do not post your contact information on this forum. This includes posting information in forums or in the personal messenger system.
  
• Any link to be posted on The Board must be pre-approved by an administrator before it is posted. Failing to get links pre-approved may result in a suspension of your privileges.
  
• The Board will not be used to promote, in any way, worldly media (this includes music, television, movies, reading material, etc.).
  
• All posts contrary to the doctrinal beliefs this site was founded on are subject to being deleted at the discretion of management. We do not restrict people from other Christian denominations from posting - but we do not subscribe to ANY of the teachings of the modern Charismatic or neo-evangelical beliefs. Any posts supporting beliefs contrary to "What we believe" will be deleted...may result in banning of the poster.
  
• It is not good message board etiquette to copy a personal post of another member and paste it on another message board without permission. This practice will not be tolerated if discovered and will likely result in the banning of anyone doing it. This does not include non-original material.
  
• No solicitation in any form is allowed by anyone without the prior permission of management.
  
• Application for membership signifies you have read, understand and have agreed to comply with this standard. It is your responsibility to check the rules often. You will be responsible for any additions or changes.
  
• Participation on this forum (posting) is a privilege and may be revoked at any time.
  
• This forum is owned and operated by Teens-4-Christ. Any message posted on this forum (whether in a public message or a private message) becomes the intellectual property of Teens-4-Christ and may be used as we see fit.
  
• This forum is designed for teens. Any post by an adult who is not specifically authorized by us (Teens-4-Christ, Randy Ross, Kellie Ross, or Faith Baptist Church of Shelby, NC) to post on this site will be removed.
  
• This forum is a part of the ministry of Randy and Kellie Ross.
  
• Teens-4-Christ will not be used to promote Rock, Country, CCM, or X-tian rock music. Please do not quote songs, or list singers/artists that fall in either of these categories. This includes promoting these types of music in Personal Messages. Violating our policy in this will result in receiving a warning and losing privileges.

I didn't realize that there were people like this who actually existed. I mean, yeah, I understand certain crazy Christian groups--damn Calvinists, it seems--but these people are ****ING NUTS. Look at their rules!

--No debating, since any opinion apart from ours is of Satan.
--Any Bible outside the KJV is of Satan.
--God's Word is the "final authority." If you disagree, you're going to hell.
--Have everything you post pre-approved. Otherwise, it might disagree with what we teach and you'll go to hell.
--Conform to our beliefs or be banned. And sent to hell.
--Music is of Satan.

I mean, seriously. I went to the "Evolution and Science" forum, expecting a riot. Instead, I nearly fell out of my chair. I believe I felt a combination of outrage, disgust, and a pervasive feeling of "WHAT THE ****?" Every post was essentially:

"Evolution is wrong because God's Word says it is. If God's Word isn't right, then God is a liar and nothing would exist. Therefore, creationism is right."

Any dissenters were handled as such (prior to being banned):

"You're deviating from the True Word of God, and so you don't believe God. You're not a Christian..."
