this is just like the story my mom told me. there is this couple that were about getting married, two months to the wedding
girl found out she is pregnant and so had no option than to abort the preggy though with the consent of the husband to be who got her pregnant because the church (C.A.C) will not wed them with pregnancy (i was like WTF).  

ehen the koko of the matter is there were unable to conduct a white wedding becos she is an orphan so the pastor decided that they just conduct a court wedding. his reason being that he wouldn't want a situation where they would be sober reflection due to her parents absence on her wedding day.

Av always known rccg for their hypocrasy. They sack my boss from being a pastor for remarryn instead of stayn single and commitn fornication. Paul said we are no longer under the law of man. There was law against adultery wish jesus and the woman that commited adultery were aware of but jesus did not condemn her instead he said go and sin no more. I know that act of jesus must av change so many adulterers compare to if jesus has condemn her. So let your friend go to another church. I guess one rccg pastor that has been disturbm me that he want to have intimacy with will refuse to wed pregnant couple in his church saying it is against the church doctrine. I communicate directly with my God and anytime i go astray, all i need to say is am sorry he is always eager to accept me back. Remember the parable of the prodigal son.

jarkbauer:

you all are dumb and have no regard for God's laws.y'all wanna go abt pre-maritally phucking and still think God is pleased with you.this issue is this if you lose your virginity and repent and be remorseful abt your actions God will forgive you but if you keep phucking thinking it's normal then you are in soup.
a fornicator is the one that engages in pre marital sex and it is forbidden so someone that is pregnant before marriage is a fornicator.so how do you expect them to join fornicators in the house of God.doing that is tantamount to approving immorality

just fall into Fountain of Life Church Pastor tayo odukoya's missus delivered 8 mths after they got married.

mbulela:

what if they repent after fornicating and God forgives them (but she is pregnant), can the Church join them?

to cut long story short its now over a year the lady can't concieve and the husband is making her life a living hell by alwz beating her.
his reason: he needs children if not na so so bad luck go dey follow am.

ehen the koko of the matter is there were unable to conduct a white wedding becos she is an orphan so the pastor decided that they just conduct a court wedding. his reason being that he wouldn't want a situation where they would be sober reflection due to her parents absence on her wedding day.

so now no church wedding and she had already conducted an abortion. 

i really felt sorry for her as she has no body to run as her parents are dead

I think you should take your question to the church in question.

I have read some of the comments and could see that most are bias and critical of the church while forgetting to mention anything about the couple. For those who are non-believers in Christ such responses are not uncommon. However I think both sides of the coin should be looked at.
Does the couple agree with the church doctrine? I would say NO. I am not very familiar with how the Redeemed church go about wedding but most evangelicals believe that wedding is between a man and a woman, and not a man, a woman, and a baby. They usually ask couples to carry out pregnancy test in order that the church may at least be seen to have proven beyond reasonable doubt that  the wedding is between two people and not three. Where pregnancy test is postive, couples are required to remain single till the child is born after which a wedding is done. The couple is expected to repent of their sins  because they were not supposed to be involved in sexual sin before marriage( it should be noted that some couples walk up to the church leadership to confess their sins and ask for counselling). Where couples do not agree with a local church doctrine they move on just as your friend as done in this case.I must however say that those who accept to wed people they know little or nothing about should be questioned the most.

Whilst it is good to wed in a church, there is nothing wrong with traditional wedding or court wedding. It is not compulsory to wed in a church as the Nigerian constitution recognise three types of wedding, and the bible does not state that you ust wed in a church. A believer in Christ should only seek to abide by his faith whatever wedding he/she soughts. If your friend's church opearte by such principles it would be unfair to treat your friend specially. No one has forced your friend to join his church, and he too should not force the church to live by his own standards. The church should only be blamed if your friend is treated differently from others. To condemn this church apart from this reason is to be bias ( non objective)

You should also be careful not to impose your opinion on others. If that is what the church belives it has a right to such beliefs. If your friend disagrees let him move on and do not try to condemn what you know nothing about, it is like displaying fooly in a market square.

Question: Does the bible really say one must be a virgin ?  If it does where? I'm really curious

I guess the couple got what they deserve - being members of an organization that took a fine simple and elegant religion, introduced superstitions and then expect the members to abide with a moral code that most of the rule makers flaunt daily.
