Community Guidelines

Last updated: 2026-05-18

"Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." — Colossians 3:13

OneBody is for the body of Christ. We come from different traditions, languages, and continents, but we serve one Lord. These guidelines help us live together in love and truth.

What we encourage

  • Preach Christ crucified, risen, returning.
  • Read and teach Scripture in context.
  • Encourage one another, pray for one another, bear one another's burdens.
  • Welcome the seeker, the doubter, the wanderer. Speak the truth in love.
  • Give credit to those whose work you use (worship music, study notes, translations).

What we don't allow

  • Harassment. Naming and shaming, pile-ons, threats.
  • Hate. Attacks on people because of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, or disability.
  • Sexual content. Pornography, nudity, sexually explicit speech.
  • Violence. Real-world threats, incitement, glorification of violence.
  • Doctrinal deception. Knowingly teaching what you believe to be false to manipulate or extract money.
  • Scams and grift. Phishing, fake fundraising, multi-level marketing, prosperity-gospel money pressure.
  • Spam. Repetitive low-quality content, mass tagging, off-topic promotion.

Where we hold space for disagreement

Christians disagree on many things — modes of baptism, gifts of the Spirit, end times, women in ministry, alcohol, politics. We hold space for these conversations. We won't remove a post or sermon because we disagree with its theology, unless it crosses into the categories above (deception, harassment, hate).

A note for ministers

If you teach on OneBody, you take responsibility for what you say. Test what you teach against Scripture. Be slow to claim "thus says the Lord." Be quick to repent when you get something wrong.

A note for everyone

If you see something that violates these guidelines, use the Report button on the post, room, or profile. Reports go to our admin queue. Don't take moderation into your own hands — bring it to us and we'll review.

Strikes and bans

First offenses usually get a warning and content removal. Repeated or severe violations lead to temporary suspension or permanent ban. We explain our decisions when we can.

"Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." — Ephesians 4:3
