    Please note that according to the Baptist Board User Agreement and/or BB Posting Rules no threads dealing with human sexuality will be allowed in an open public forum. If you feel the need to discuss any subject matter dealing with human sexuality the proper and only permissible place to do so is in either the BB Private Men's Forum or the BB Private Women's Forum depending on the gender of the person starting the thread.

    Yours in Christ,

    BB Posting Rule Number 2 states:
    The BB Webmaster graciously allowed an exception to this rule by providing that topics dealing with human sexuality could be discussed only in either the Women’s or Men’s Private Forum depending on the gender of the person making the OP.

    Likewise, the User Agreement Paragraph Three (located directly below the list of BB Posting Rules) states:

    We all must remember that the Baptist Board is a privately owned website. We are all here as guests at the pleasure of the owner. He (the owner) has final say so regarding what material he allows to be posted and who he allows to use his site. As welcomed guests it is our obligation to abide by the owner’s rules, policies, and decisions. Likewise, the owner has appointed both Administrators and Moderators to act on his behalf in managing the various forums on the website. I hope this information is helpful to you all.

    Yours in Christ,

    Bible-boy,

    The BaptistBoard.com's Administrative Council has determined that the doctrine referred to as "Millennial Exclusion" falls outside the bounds of traditional orthodox Christain teaching. Therefore, the Administrative Council has deemed this false teaching to be "damnable heresies" (II Peter 2:1), and has reached the decision to revoke the membership of those who continue to spread this heresy here on the Baptist Board.

    Below is a website that provides a pretty good definition of the subject:

    [These rules were established fourteen years ago to remind posters of basic Christian conduct and etiquette and have always applied in ALL forums. These were posted in our original BB divisions, but I noticed now it appears in just the Bible Version forum, so posting a slightly-revised edition applicable to ALL our Baptist-only Debate forums as "sticky" and "without comments".]

    1. If you are going to start a thread in this forum, you must be clearly identified as a Baptist since this is a Baptist-Only area. As such, only BAPTISTS are allowed to post on any thread in this Forum. Non-Baptists may feel free to start a thread on the same subject in the "Other Religions" forum.

    2. Please do not start a thread with an attack or a flame as your premise. This is in violation of BB rules. And do not bring dirty laundry from another forum into this forum. This one has enough of its own.

    3. Remember that we're presenting ideas and not destroying people. Teach patiently as Second Timothy 2 says, or don't post at all. Do not attack the other poster; if you want to question the opinion, that's fine. But do so in a God honoring way. Don't attack the person; the goal is to build up and win for the truth's sake.

    4. It is NEVER ACCEPTABLE to question someone's salvation relative to "interpretation/preferences" of doctrine. If false doctrine is taught, it will be stopped, but assumption is always that the BB member is simply not educated or confused, perhaps using poor word-choices, and not "doomed to eternal hell". Phrases like "If you were as spiritual as I am, you'd believe xyz" is another such put-down not tolerated.

    5. Certain terms are OFF-LIMITS in this forum in the name of civility and discussion:
    To label someone (individually) or a post (corporately) as "perverted," "satanic," "demonic," "cultic," "heretical," "sacrilegious," etc, is counter-productive to discussion and learning.

    6. If a thread is going "off topic" after 5 pages, it will be shut down by the moderators. Feel free to start a NEW thread on a cognate area that was left unresolved. If you start a thread, at any time you may request that the thread be closed, but the Forum Moderators reserve the right to leave the thread open or close the thread at their discretion.

    If you have a problem with any of these basic rules of civility and Christian courtesy, you know where the door is. If you violate them, you will be SHOWN only limited grace or tolerance before being shown the door.

    I do not see how this addresses the title of the thread. How do we disagree with other Christians? I do not post on this board as frequently as I have in the past for a myriad of reasons; one of which is the manner in which Christians disagree with each other.

    I think Naselli's primary point in the end is that "it matters how you treat those who disagree with you on disputable matters." That is, there is a right way and a wrong way, and he thinks Romans 14:1-15:7 guides in the matter.
