aishaemeka:


The fact is, will someone make heaven as a church worker if he covers up fornication & continues his church work?

As I understand ....do not judge refers judging if someone will enter Heaven. That judgement is reserved for God only. Anyone answering such a question is going directly against God's specific instruction... do not judge.

On confession.... any confession is between the person and Jesus. Why would someone confess to a pastor or priest?... is he the one that will free you of the sin? ... is he an agent?..... every man has to speak for himself.... the pastor has his own sins to confess. Does he confess his to others?... pastors be sleeping with church members upandan... do they confess to other pastors?... so why should anyone confess to them? Should you go and confess to pastor that you slept with Sister Lovely Legs two days ago.... what do you think he will do with that information confession?
Confess to no man period.... but go ask for forgiveness from the person you offended.

When pastor committed sin , did he tell the church members?

See below

RiyadhGoddess:
Confessing to the church leadership is the church policy not biblical.
If you commit any sin God is faithful to forgive you if you confess it
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 1:7‭-‬10 KJV

Any unconfessed sin can affect your eternal destiny.
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11 KJV
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
1 Corinthians 10:5‭-‬14 KJV

You are quite wrong on your first sentence.
Take a look at this;
James:5.16
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.


I am sure the above is very self explanatory. And you know its essence.
Only habitual sinners or should i say those who delibrately sin are supposed to be suspended. Don't get me wrong in this statement.

The reason this is not done is because in some gatherings, anyone who brings his sins/short comings to the pastor or any brethren will end up being the gist and gossip of the church. And in some instances that individual will be indirectly made a Sunday sermon in the church.


Another reason against this is if as a member or worker, I'm being made to confess my short comings to the pastor, who does the pastor confess his short comings to?

Who will the pastor or church leadership confess to when they err?
Confession bawo. Na only Catholic Church still dey do that one o.

You have told God, why tell man again?
Not like it's for restitution.

Yea.

However it doesn't stop at confessing. There is this parr that if not obeyed, the confession is just waste of time ... Though our worldwide churches do not say it.. They only say confess..


Forsaking it is the most life giving step ....


Remember Christ with the woman caught in adultery with a man too.

He didn't only forgive and stopped there, he said go and sin no more..

Sadly that's the part that will and has drawn many of the world population to hell. Its no curse, its reality. It's the Truth....

Confess to God

yes, it's important in most cases because it will make such individual to desist from that sin. it also serves as a wake up call for other sinners to repent.

I think it's a good church policy and tradition but not a bible law. Wisdom is profitable to direct. It may not necessarily be a confession before the whole church. I don't think the aim is to disgrace the erring one but for accountability. Since such a person might need to step back/down from church ministry for a while. Then there's need for the appropriate people to know why. In all, the Spirit of God should guide our actions. Some confession sef can weak many.

Why , na pastor blow am, even if na pastor fornicate its between him and his god
