The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum A Question about This Forum

Pilgrim, I've noticed you are listed as "Head Honcho" and are a member (or pastor) of the Reformed Congregational church. Is this forum an open forum, or is it a presentation of this particular church or theological viewpoint. In other words is this forum the Internet presence of a particular church of theological stance? Is the Reformed Congregational church similar to a Reformed Baptist church?

In the past I've been in Baptist churches where sometimes persons of other denominations were waiting outside to argue points as members left after a service, and on rare occasions would even attend a Bible study for the specific purpose of disagreeing with the church's doctrinal views.

I do not want to be seen in that manner, if I am intruding on a Forum of or for a specific denomination or theology. Pilgrim, was/is this forum your creation, and you therefore are the Moderator? I can see the forum is largely what I think of as orthodox as coming out of the Protestant Reformation, but is it more specific than that? Would a dispensationalist, or Lutheran, or New Covenant theology believer be intruding in an offensive manner to post views here on the forum, or it specifically a Calvinist/Reformed forum? I hold to the 1646 Baptist Confession rather than the 1689 Baptist confession because of the lack of Old Covenant law being included, as the Ten Commandments are included in the various Reformed church's Confessions, though I certainly do not break brotherly fellowship on that point. Am I intruding improperly into a Reformed forum?

Pilgrim, I'm asking because reading various posts here, it almost sounds like this forum is a particular church and you are the Pastor defending the purpose and presentation of the forum. My questions may be answered somewhere on the Forum but I have not seen it. I notice the members of this forum is are a smaller number, less than 1000, so I have begun to wonder about this.

Thanks for clarifying for me, and possibly making it clear for other brethren in Christ who are merely reading, who may hold to varied views that are not exactly inline with yours.
