Re: Churches that Abuse by Ronald M Enroth

Hello Seeker, I understand how the restrictions and stipulations that Peter, Vic and David (among others) put on prayer can curtail your prayer life. I read Pray Big by Alistair Begg with friends earlier this year and found it so helpful. It comes out of his sermon series in Ephesians, which was (an...

Re: Trauma:How can this be of God?

My question to Streetcar Forum is: how do these places continue to keep active, when there is so much trauma resulting from the Australia wide XFs? Stargazer This is a very good question Stargazer. Welcome to Streetcar. Chris Masters / Four Corners ‘God of Broken Hearts’ asked a very similar questio...

Re: The theology of 'planting'

The question about planting is very important. Some might doubt and think we're overreacting when we say that the BCF theology insists you must stay or risk losing your salvation. I'm sure many who attend BCF do not believe this, but the theology is deeply ingrained in the culture. For example, look...

Re: The theology of 'planting'

Hello guest, Firstly, I can't say that I know how you feel, but I do know what it feels like to be a lifelong attendee of xCF and then have to go through the pain of leaving BCF. It's difficult, and I'm praying for you. The BCF theology that says you need to stay where God 'planted' you never made s...

The theology of 'planting'

Hi friends, I am a newly departed former lifelong member of BCF. For a long time now, and still even after my leaving I have tried to make sense of the idea that is so pushed within the xCF churches of 'planting'. As a BCFer you are "planted" here, either through being born into the church...

For those who don't have a spare hour to listen to it, I've summarised the seven signs below. They also spoke about some of the boundaries we need to have. I've listed some of t...

Re: ongoing rejection

IN recent weeks my family have decided to move away from me into an area highly populated with CF folk. It's worth noting that this has become a trend within the CF churches. Just another step to solidify that the members lives are to revolve around the church. I'm sorry you've had to go through th...

Re: What is happening in the Adelaide Fellowship? (Westlakes Christian Fellowship)

10. That monumental row that David Hall had with Vic several Christmases ago was to do with Vic allowing Murray Wylie to emasculate David's youngest daughter who was showing all the musical signs of succeeding MW with the Musical Direction of the CFs. She subsequently left the Church and is now hap...
