WHAT TOPICS ARE DISCUSSED?
Topics discussed include (but definitely are not limited to): Any Bible doctrine, belief, passage, etc. Basically, topics are to be any Bible related subject.

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

1. Members must Confess Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior: You must have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; this is evidenced by a definite repentance from sins, 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. The Christian/Believer is one who has accepted Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ, the Son of the Living God.

WHAT KIND OF ETIQUETTE SHOULD WE USE? The Study the Word List is a community of Christians who are meeting together to learn from one another. As in any community of people, there are rules of behavior that are designed to benefit everyone. The following rules are not to be broken or you could be unsubscribed immediately:

1. SUBJECT: Please try to ensure that your subject line reflects the content of your message.
2. Trim the quoted portion of an email you are responding to.. Please delete all of the previous text except that which is needed to provide a reference point or context for your message. Please, do not just click "Reply", type a line or two and then send.
3. Send "I am praying for you!", "I'm from Anywhere, USA." and "Me, too!" messages privately and not to the entire list. This means you highlight, copy and paste the other member's email address into the "To:" field of your email message. Again, don't just click "Reply" and send.
4. Please do not type in all caps or lower case letters, and try to break up your messages into small paragraphs. This will ensure that your message is much more readable.
5. Please keep signature files down to 5 lines or less (that includes spaces between lines of text)
6. Contact the List Owner if you have a conflict with another list member
7. Prayerfully consider your posts before sending.
