Good day nairalanders,

Sorry I have to write this, I have decided to keep it to myself but, I decided to let it out.

Just like every other job seekers who are looking for jobs either to switch to a better pay or change environment.

Though I have been out of job since the COVID-19 pandemic started, I worked in a retail company, but since we have not been called back, I decided to search for job.

I saw an advert and decided to submit my application, just like every other people, luckily after one week or two, I got a mail that I have been shortlisted for their online test and after I pass, I will move to the next stage which is virtual interview before coming to their office to sign my employment letter.

After the mail, like 3 days I got a mail containing my ogin and password for the test, fiam, I opened and I did the test.

After like another 3days, I got a mail from them that I passed the test and i should be expecting a whatsap call from one of their head office in Europe.

Luckily I got the call, from one of the European country number from a Nigerian, believing is the call that would change my life forever.

After the normal introduction and other things like the job functions, the real bible questions started which I was able to scale through it.

Towards the end of the virtual interview, the last question was are you a born again Christian, have you been baptised and what denomination are you?.

And I said yes I'm a born again Christian, I've been baptised and I'm a Roman Catholic.

At the end of my speech his response was, is not possible to be a Catholic and be born again.

He said once you were not taken to the river to be baptised that's not a baptism.

Catholics are not born again Christians and I'm not baptised too just because I was not taken to the river to be baptised.

His last statement was, you actually have the experience but, we need other denomination not Catholic that the job entails somebody who is a real born again Christian.

That was how I lost the job, thinking today being my birthday, I will go to church and do special thanks giving.
Consider yourself fortunate. That is not a company but a cult organisation after only God knows what, this world is deep.

God will surely provide you a good job. Let your faith in Him not shake. Rather thank Him for delivering you from evil ones.

FYI: I'm not Catholic o. But anyone who criticises the Church established by Christ Himself through Peter is not a Christian.

Wunmi, I think it's important to know what this job is about that will require you to be born again and be bsptised by immersion. Also will be nice to see a copy of the job description and or the advert...
Please note this is also to help us comment appropriately because these are very sensitive and weighty matters....IT IS VERY STRANGE THAT YOU APPLY FOR AN ADVERTISED JOB, A FORMAL CIRCULAR JOB AND ONE INDIVIDUAL WILL REFUSE TO GIVE YOU THE JOB, YOU INTERVIEWED FOR AND PASSED...BASED ON YOUR DENOMINATION OR BEING BORN AGAIN...THAT WILL BE VERY UNPROFESSIONAL ON THE PART OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND ILLEGAL ON THE PART OF THE ORGANISATION HE OR SHE REPRESENTS...so please give details so people can comment or learn

Yes, Catholic are not born again Christian with their doctrine though you don't need a river for water baptism but it must be baptism by immersion.

You cant be born again and be quoting "Holy Mary pray for me". We were not taught to honour Mary or pray like that

But you can be born again and be baptized and steal Nigeria's money. You can be all that and still sleep with people's wives and you will employ those people.

You religious people are too dumb. LMAO.

That was how I wrote Chokhmah schools test, I scaled through, a very rigorous test it was.
I was invited for a training alongside others, and was addressed as a new staff. I was so haooy thanking God.
After one week, no call, to at least say resume or otherwise.
When I tried making enquiries on what went wrong, someone told me in confidence they considered their church members first. Meanwhile, the HR consultants told us clearly it will be based on merit and not sentiments. And we all believed as na church thing naa. All na wash.
I'm sure pastor David Ibiyeomie is not aware of all they did.
I'm so angry and I know God is watching
Those the the job stress.

Age discrimination.
Gender discrimination.
BSC/HND discrimination.
Religious/interdenominational discrimination. I sympathize with the O.P, but it's not exactly breaking news. These things have been happening.. I'm very sure all staffs or RUN, COVENANT or AL-HIKMAH universities must of members of their denomination.
I've seen Chartered accountant required, but must be a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS.

My dear, I have to talk to you like a brother, there is no "locus standing" on the legal war someone advised you on.

An employer has stated his "modus operandi" in connection to hiring an employee.

Truthfully, you didn't fit into what he wants. As a Catholic, you are a Christian by religion but you are not a born again Christian.

There is no need to pamper the gospel truth.
Wow. Secretary to God. How do you know who is born again abi who was born before? Please don't be a Judge for God. and there is no Gospel in your supposed truth.

If it was stated in the advert that you must be a particular denomination before you apply then you are at fault,but if not I think that is height of descrimination and wickedness,and you should try and see if you can seek legal redress

If we Christian's don't like each other and we begin to segregate between denomination, I don't see why this country won't divide into two.


I wanted to let it slide that is one of those things when job hunting, but I just have to let the cat out of the bag, because I don't want to start thinking about it as today is my birthday, I need to free my mind.

Thanks,Though You qualified but You were dropped. Pls Reat Ur Mind. You were not Judged. Clearly You were told,the Job is not Meant for a Catholic Christian but Other Sect Preferred by the Employers. So Move on
However,To be a Born Again Christian, You Must Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as Your Lord and Personal Saviour. You MUST Believe and Accept His Sacrifice and Atonement for Our Sins and Take the Scriptures as Ur Final AUTHORITY on the Balance of Truth, filled with the Holy Spirit Baptism,not just Water Baptism, not to talk of Sprinkling. We are not talking about Denominational Creed here,Pls. Martin Luther of Blessed Memory Could not Stay under the Catholic Dogma after He came to the Realisation of the True Gospel of Jesus Christ, So CAN YOU AFTER BEING BORN AGAIN? Pls Seek the Lord in True and Genuine Repentance and Conversion,Pls. Not Engaging in Penance and Confession to a Rev.Father. Christ sets Free and only His Shed Blood is Required for ur Cleansing and Purifications not Holy Water and incense Burning. You are engaged in Religious activities not the New Testamental Creed of True Christianity,Where Holiness and Personal Integrity is what God Demands from us.Thanks.

Catholics honour Mary because she is d mother of the one who redeemed us from our sins. If it was that easy,God for choose our mama to borne Jesus. She is Special whether you accept it or not. And please stop being the Judge of other people's belief. Run your own race and may the best man win.

I am going to need receipts that this happened. I find it hard to believe. An European county with it's almost atheist population asking you to verify if you are born again is synonymous to Buhari suddenly being proactive in Nigeria. That is impossible.

Receipts please. So whatever legal action you want to take can be pushed for you to the far heavens.

You think atheists are the majority in Europe?

The organisation is an international fath based organisation, the requirement is a christain and born again Christian and the job position requirement.

Since I'm a Christian and I also believe im born again, that was why I gave it a shot
