Well according to the "Announcement (http://christianforums.com/showthread.php?p=48770584#post48770584)""However, any post that is contrary to Christian Forums' Statement of Faith will be removed."


And what I posted was the Current SOF (http://christianforums.com/faq.php?faq=rules#faq_sof)for CF in the FAQs

In light of that, I want to ask the Theology mods and Admin how this will be interpreted. What about theological concepts you personally consider heretical, but which do not expressly contradict the SoF? For example, open theism or universalism?

Will posts advocating these views be removed?Please add Process Theology to that list; same question.

These questions were posted in the Christian Apologetics forum, but since they deal with the whole Theology section, I figured this is probably a better place to ask. We could add to this list full preterism, Freemasonry, annihilationism, Nestorianism etc.

May we have some response from the Theology staff to these questions?

Thank you.

Posts will be strictly Moderated by the SoF, and not by personal Mod definition of "Heresy."

This is the CF SoF.

We worship one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Isaiah 44:6-8; Exodus 3:15). God is three divine persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who share one essence--the Trinity (John 6:27; John 1:1, 14; Romans 8:9; Hebrews 1:2-3).

Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, the incarnate second person of the Holy Trinity, fully God and fully man (John 1:1, 14), by the Power of the Holy Spirit was born of a Virgin (Luke 1:35) and existed before all time begotten of God the Father (John 1:2; John 1:18). He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) and is seated at the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19). Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah (John 1:49; Matthew 16:16). His coming was foretold by the prophets of the Old Testament (Acts 3:18-23). He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead (Acts 10:42) and His Kingdom will have no end (2 Peter 1:11).

Posts that are contrary to the above will be considered a violation. There are Universalists that posts within the SoF, there are open theists that post within the SoF, and there are adherents to process theology that post within the SoF. Any one of these beliefs could also post contrary to the SoF. Post will be ruled based on content not on a particular poster. The moderating team particular theological beliefs of what is considered heretical is not a factor.
