Forum Terms and Rules

Welcome to BiblicalTruthForum.com. By registering and participating on this forum, you agree to follow these terms and rules. This forum is dedicated to biblical truth, doctrinal clarity, and respectful discussion centered on the Word of God.

1. Scriptural Authority

This forum is built on the principle of Sola Scriptura — Scripture alone is the final authority for all doctrine, correction, and truth. All teachings, questions, and discussions must be evaluated by the Bible in proper context.

2. Statement of Faith

We believe the gospel of Jesus Christ: that salvation is by grace through faith, not of works, and that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man, who died for our sins and rose again. Read our full Doctrinal Statement.

3. What Is Not Allowed

• Promoting salvation by works, sacraments, or anything contrary to the biblical gospel
• Attacks on the divinity of Christ, the authority of Scripture, or the nature of God
• Trolling, baiting, name-calling, or mockery of biblical beliefs
• Posting material that is obscene, profane, sexually immoral, or abusive
• Spamming, self-promotion, or posting links without biblical context
• Creating multiple accounts to evade moderation or sow division

4. Respectful Discussion

We welcome honest questions and sharp disagreement — but not hostility or pride. Members must speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), while remaining firm in the faith (Jude 1:3). Correcting false doctrine is encouraged, but must be done with Scripture and humility.

5. Forum Etiquette

• Use Scripture references whenever possible. Cite book, chapter, and verse.
• Quote only what you are responding to — avoid overquoting full posts.
• Start threads in the correct forum category. If unsure, ask a moderator.
• Use clear titles and avoid clickbait or vague topic names.
• Use plain formatting. Avoid unnecessary CAPS, colors, or font tricks.

6. Moderator Discretion

Moderators are tasked with protecting the integrity of the forum and upholding biblical truth. They may edit or remove posts, warn users, or revoke accounts as needed. Willful disregard for truth, repeated offense, or defiance toward moderation may result in a permanent ban.

7. Membership Expectations

• Submit to the authority of God's Word
• Use Scripture in context when making claims about doctrine
• Participate with honesty, clarity, and purpose
• Report posts that violate biblical standards or forum rules

8. Salvation Message

If you are unsure of your salvation or want to know how to be born again, we urge you to read this page: How to Be Saved. The gospel is the foundation of this forum and the only way to eternal life.

9. Liability Disclaimer

This forum is not responsible for the personal beliefs, advice, or interpretations of individual users. However, content that violates these rules may be removed at the discretion of the moderators and administrators.

10. Final Word

This is not a place for religion without truth or tradition without Scripture. This is a place for serious biblical discussion, gospel proclamation, and sharpening one another in the Word of God.
