Should Church Workers Confess To Church Authority When They Fall In Fornication? by cutecommend(op): 7:43am On Jul 07, 2024
If a church worker commits adultery or fornication, should they tell their pastor or church leadership about it or just repent and move on?

God is loving, forgiving and merciful, and he forgives the worst sinner.

Now, when a church worker commits fornication or adultery, such worker should in wisdom inform the pastor and seek for prayers also. He or she may also tell a trusted church leader about such acts.

But firstly, the person should repent of it and then speak to a trusted leader or the persons clergy or pastor about such acts. This is in general terms in a bible-believing and good church. This also applies to committing adultery in marriage or cheating in courtship.

Such acts should be confessed to the partner, as God will not like such secrets to be hidden and covered.

Some of the most judgemental people you'd find around are those church heads and even some church members.

Go on your knees, ask God for forgiveness and repent GENUINELY, then move on, never to allow the devil use his accusatory tactics to make you wallow in guilt.

Confess at your own risk. Some of the people you're confessing to are doing worse than you behind closed doors. You have direct access to your God through prayers, Bible study and fasting. Use that direct access instead.

It depends on the church you're attending, if it's the church of Satan then i don't have any idea but if you're talking of the church of Christ then you must adhere strictly to rules guiding Christianity.
This is what Christianity says:

Is there anyone sick among you? Let him call the elders of the congregation to him, and let them pray over him, applying oil to him in the name of Jehovah. And the prayer of faith will make the sick one well, and Jehovah will raise him up. Also, if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. James 5:14-15

You need the elders to gather around you and pray, remember the presence of two or three elders of the church automatically means the presence of Christ Jesus {Matthew 18:20} that's the only way you can be assured of God's approval! undecided

Not compulsory, confess to God and any other believer if you feel like

I think there is a part of the Bible that says confess to one another but ultimately, forgiveness is of the Lord so, the most important thing is repentance as we cannot continue in sin and expect continuous flow of the blessings of God because God cannot dwell where sin abounds. Selah

This idea of confession was made for fools to brainwash them and get secret information. It was like detective tool, spyware and intelligence gathering. It was used on black slaves as well to spy on potential slave rebels and keep the masters safe
I can’t believe black people in this age are still this foolish.

LOL. Hallelujah brother lezz.

I can also mention, their hypocrisy, double standard and lust for wealth and anything inside a skirt, knows no bound.

Never before have I seen a bunch of deviant, lustful creatures, like many of these men who brandish themselves as pastors.

Hmmm .... report to the Pastor and it is highly likely that there will be another adultery loading .... with the pastor. What kind of man will go and confess to another man that he committed adultery? Imagine...

Congregant; Pastor... I'm here to confess that I committed adultery and
am here seeking forgiveness.

Pastor: It is well .... and who is the Jezebel that seduced you?

Congregant: Your wife .... Mummy GO ... didn't she confess as yet?

At times members attend church and disappear and we be wondering why.

A woman goes and confess ... the pastor is likely to get between her legs.

Where in the Bible is it written that a pastor has any part to play in the forgiveness of one's sin? Confused Christians everywhere.

Ideally, it should be so, but realistically it can be a problematic. People are in different stages of development, it's sad to say but a number of church leaders are very underdeveloped in handling delicate matters.
