CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you have truly repented, then it's a done deal. God has forgiven you. As Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, "Then neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more!" You are forgiven, and don't let the devil or any person acting on his behalf tell you differently!
Right now, you need the love and support of a church family. Your feelings that your current church may not accept you may be just lies that the enemy is whispering in your ear. I would encourage you to at least talk to someone there that you trust. If you get the vibe that they are not going to support you, but rather judge and condemn you, then maybe it's time for you to find a new church family...
Also...I highly recommend Anne Lamott's essay, "Why I Make Sam Go to Church." Yes, Anne's opinions are sometimes a bit too liberal for my taste, but this is a great essay about how she found a church family that would support her when she found herself unmarried, unemployed, and pregnant. I believe it's online if you Google it!
God bless you and your family!!

thank you kids minister i will google it right now! one of my other concerns is that i will have to get re-baptised what are ur feelings on this? i feel that i shouldnt have to do it again as i did not backslide and turn my heart away from god. i still want to follow him with all my heart so what is the purpose of re-baptism. it makes a mockery of it if everytime aperson does a BAD sin they should get re- baptised.

If you have truely repented then God certainly has forgiven you. Your sins, are no worse than the sins of others and Jesus Christ died and shed his blood for the purpose of forgiving your sins.
Please confide in somebody within your church. I pray that they will accept you for who you are and not judge you, as Gods people its so important that we love each other.
God bless you. Stay strong and trust in the Lord.

If you've truly repented, God has forgiven you 
And the church, if they're really filled with God's Holy Spirit, will accept it and embrace you I'm guessing you aren't married? Well, we all make mistakes! And they'll understand that

I agree. Jesus forgives anyone who truly wants to be forgiven. Find a good support network around you.

I am a sinner....
This is one thing nobody can do a thing about or deny..WE ARE ALL SINNERS. but only some some of us are saved from our sins. WE were created and God knew we would be sinners and that is why Jesus was sent for us. So he may rescue us and bridge the gap between us and God. Once someone accepts this and tells God that he/she is a sinner and asks for forgiveness and accepts theat Jesus is our savior then from that point on forever this is what is done.
1 you sin.
2 God and jesus know you sinned
3 Jesus says to God. I got this one.
4 YOU ARE FORGIVEN.
it is a cycle...if you asked for forgiveness and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior then you are SAVED.....

I am wondering if you were taught that you have to be baptized to go to heaven? This is not true. You believed, you repented you were saved whether you were baptized or not. You DO NOT need to be baptized again you need to repent ask for forgiveness from God and HE WILL forgive you. Sin is sin, your sin is no worse than anyone else's it is just a more "obvious" sin cause is it is kind of hard to hide a pregnancy much less a child. If your church already supported you as a single mom don't you think they will again? Speak to someone in leadership, tell them you strayed but you have repented and are back on track.
God forgives all sins and forgets about them, God will love this child even more than you will.

well basically i know in my heart that i dont need to be baptised again but in my local church, people usually get baptised again for sexual sin. ive seen people go 3 and 4 times back to the pool each time they committ a sin such as fornication i have been given many reasons why, il list them
1) you need to do your first work over
2) you cant just do as you please and then come back into the church saying 'hey! ive said sorry its ok now' and resume church life as if nothing has happened.
3) unbelievers will think that church people can do what they want and it will shoow that the church doesnt regard holiness as important.
4) the outward show will convince the church members that i have truly repented and come back to the fold.

about the baptism thing. you're God's child, even if u stray and sin, right? then ask God if He wills it for you to be rebaptized. you know in ur heart that rebaptism isn't necessary but let God confirm it if He's talking to you. it's better safe than sorry. u can always pm me if u want to talk. love ya, souldoutdancer4

I have never heard of rebaptism, God has forgiven you and that is what really matters. Again as the previous poster said if you think that is what God is telling you it won't hurt but I don't see anywhere in the Bible it says that is necessary.
