Membership Requirements/List Rules/Netiquette

Born Again Christian: If you are born again, you have decided to follow Jesus, and have accepted His free gift of salvation. You have asked God to forgive you for your sins. This list is for those of you who have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; this is evidenced by a confession of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life and a walk that reflects this relationship. If you do not feel you can honestly declare this before God and the other list members, you might feel more comfortable with a different e-mail list. If you are not sure, please feel free to email us, and we will be glad to discuss salvation with you.. For more information on what it means to be a "Christian", please visit Words We All Should Know.
