The following are the rules and guidelines for operating on
CalvaryNet.  It is required that everyone review these guidelines
prior to any communication on CalvaryNet.

These guidelines are not meant to be restrictive with regards to
promoting fellowship, but are those "boundaries" that are set as a
"rule" for conduct, which will be enforced for the enjoyment of all
who participate.

Please be aware that although use of the Calvary Chapel BBS's is a
FREE service to the public, that we are indeed a ministry of
Calvary Chapel.  Please be considerate of this when posting
messages that may deal with other church organizations.  Posting
BBS Ads related to a Non-Calvary Chapel focus is not permitted.

Please also be aware that this is a family oriented ministry, and
that children will also have access to the services within.

RULES OF CONDUCT:

1. Let all your typing give glory to God; in respecting your
   brother, in treating your brother with brotherly love, and in
   your witness as a Child of God... and Ambassador for Christ...
   while communicating on CalvaryNet.

2. Let all bitterness, envy, strife, speaking evil of dignities and
   of government rulers be far from you.  Let backbiting be
   something far from you.  Shine as a light on a hill... and salt
   to savor the minds of each Christian and potential Christian on
   CalvaryNet.

    "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
     another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
                        {Ephesians 4:32}

3. Let all evil communication be far from you.  Don't judge your
   brother as being from the pit of hell... or as being from an
   evil spirit, nor to say evil things to your brothers... be
   kind.. treating your brothers and sisters with the respect you
   would want to be treated.

4. Above all.... love.. and forgive one another... for in doing so
   you show you have great command of the scriptures.. and of
   yourself.

5. Let Christ dwell in you richly on CalvaryNet, and do not "jump
   in" when the above evils are beginning as a small harsh voice to
   your ears.  Overcome such with love... and with kindness in
   return.. regardless of the way you are treated.

6. If you have a complaint against another brother regarding their
   actions on CalvaryNet, please bring that complaint to the SYSOP
   of the BBS you are calling.  That Sysop will then set up some
   sort of means for you to communicate with the offending party so
   you can "go to your brother when you have an offense against
   them". THIS WILL BE DONE APART FROM THE NETWORK.  If such cannot
   be resolved between the "brethren" themselves, that Sysop will
   bring this problem to the attention of the Network Administrator
   (John Scudder) in the CC-Admin Conference. The Network
   Administrator will use the various support and prayer advisors
   on CalvaryNet to review each occurence on a case-by-case basis.
   Any alterations to the above guidelines will be dealt with
   quickly, to avoid disharmony and a veering from our focus of
   fellowship "in the Love of Christ".

7. If you use TAGLINES attached to your mail, such must not be
   offensive in any manner, and must give Glory to God.  If your
   taglines are extremely inappropriate {blatant disrespect or
   inappropriate language, crude, abusive, or otherwise} you will
   promptly be asked to discontinue fellowship on CalvaryNet.

8. Absolutely no references to "swearing" or other inappropriate
   communication, however mild, are permitted on this family
   oriented BBS.  We have all age groups involved in this free
   fellowship ministry, as well as an obligation to have our
   written communication conform to the following:

   "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but
    that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister
    grace unto the hearers." {Ephesians chapter 4, verse 29}

   "That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the
    acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ
    Jesus." {Philemon chapter 1, verse 6}

9. Please to not demean or speak ill of other Christian Networks on
   CalvaryNet. It is not within our focus to compare nor ridicule
   other ministries in the service of our King.  If you have a
   complaint regarding another Christian Network other than
   CalvaryNet or another Christian Ministry in the Service of our
   Almighty God, we encourage you to contact that Network's
   Administration and make your concerns known.

   Gossip regarding any other ministries in the service of our Lord
   Jesus Christ is not wise, nor appropriate.  Also, please refrain
   from discussing possible inappropriate actions a brother may
   have on other Christian Networks while on CalvaryNet.  We can
   (in love) peacefully discuss their "CalvaryNet" specific actions
   in accordance with these CCPOLICY guidelines *apart* from their
   actions on other Networks or ministries.

   2 Corinthians 12:20 
  "For I fear that perhaps I may come and find you not what I wish,
   and that you may find me not what you wish; that perhaps there
   may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander,
   gossip, conceit, and disorder." {RSV}

10. The Network Administrator can alter or delete any message on
    CalvaryNet if such are inappropriate for family viewing or
    inconsistent with the above guidelines.  This prohibits their
    inappropriate content from going out over the network.... to
    Christian Families and other BBS's. The use of @#^$% type
    characters in conjunction with relaying a thought are not
    permitted, as they convey the same inappropriate wordage and
    intended meaning as the word they are symbolizing. The Network
    Administrator can refuse access to CalvaryNet to any individual
    or group of individuals that are inconsistent with the focus
    and/or objective of this Ministry, including the inability to
    communicate with one another under these (and Biblical) listed
    Guidelines.

11. The Calvary Chapel Sysops actively Relaying CalvaryNet have a
    responsibility to monitor their respective BBS's for
    inappropriate behavior, and thus, may have additional
    guidelines for your behavior while you are on their respective
    BBS.  We encourage you to communicate with the Sysop of the
    particular BBS system you are using if you have any concerns.

12. The Administrative Pastor of CalvaryNet is Pastor Ralph Wood of
    Calvary Chapel Oceanside.  The Network Administrator (John
    Scudder) is under the authority of Pastor Ralph.  Pastor Ralph
    Wood has access to all CalvaryNet communication.  Since we are
    "forgiveness" and "fellowship in love" oriented, all corrective
    administrative actions will be handled on an individual basis.
    When a situation does arise that requires Administrative Action,
    there will be an immediate "time out" for the parties involved,
    which is basically a *temporary* restriction from CalvaryNet
    Communication until the presented actions can be prayerfully
    considered and dealt with in love and admonition of the Lord.

    The Structure and Focus of CalvaryNet is to provide a means to
    connect the Calvary Chapel and affiliate churches while also
    providing a wonderful Christ centered family oriented
    fellowship ministry to the world.  There is an "extended focus"
    to Reach, Teach, Mend, and Send in conjunction with the whole
    Calvary Chapel orientation and objectives in ministry.

13. "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for
     charity shall cover the multitude of sins."  {1 Peter 4:8}

  WHEW! now that these guidelines that "HELP US TO REMEMBER" the
  LOVE IN CHRIST we have for one another are listed, we can go on,
  sharing in His most Precious Light! To Lighten all who cross our
  path... and all who can see.  If you have any questions regarding
  these guidelines, please take a moment to pray regarding your
  requests, and then present them to the SYSOP of the Bulletin
  Board you are communicating on.

With love in Christ...
