Thank you for your reply!

Another site I post on would not allow some one that did not accept the Christian definition of God as 3 persons in one being and that did not believe in the creed to post as Christians.

I hope this means only how one identifies himself and not that people who do not yet believe this are excluded from the discussion, otherwise the site is making no progress in spreading the Gospel. For instance, IMHO, the disciples who ventured beyond the Jewish communities accomplished more under the Great Commission than those who did not.

Discernment is everything.

Discernment is indeed very important, but I do not agree with the statement, i.e. that it is "everything".

Because He is Creator of the beginning, nothing can exist either spiritually or physically except by Him - thus, God is everything. Discernment is a spiritual gift.

No, those that are not Creedal professing Christians are not allowed to post in the Christian area. They are not Christians. They may read, but not share their atheism or heresies among the body of Christ.

Mat. 7-15, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

We are warned not to allow them to proselytize us

2 John 10-11 “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.”

Jesus , Paul , and the disciples did not believe that meant allowing them to teach you , and then you thank them

Those that refuse to hear and that instead try to teach you , have not heard. What did Jesus say?

Mar 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
