I was baptized into the church at the age of 9. I am now 35. I married when I was a young 18 year old. I have since divorced that person and have re-married. It was not a scriptural divorce. My current husband and I have a 14 year old son who has just recently been baptized. I know that what I have done in the past is wrong. We have stopped going to church, mainly because I was told that I was going to hell no matter what I did. Our son is wanting us, his parents, to come back to church. I would like to but, If there is no way that I will be forgiven for what I have done why should I? We have been a few times and nobody has treated us badly. But we want to start going as a family. My husband is also divorced, however his was a scripturale divorce. I guess my biggest question is was I at the age of accountability when I was baptized? And if not can I be re-baptized, come back to the Lord, and be forgiven of my past?
I presently worship with a congregation that uses multiple cups in serving the Lords Supper. I see no harm in this. Can you furnish reasons (with scriptures) why this practice might not be what God wants. Thanks very much

Question: Under what scriptural circumstances would someone need to be baptized a second or third time? Would a divorce and remarriage be ?washed away? with multiple baptisms? If not, how should we deal with congregations who accept those who are in unscriptural marriages?

Do you have a CD available of the songs from the song book. If not, do you know if any are available elsewhere?
I am talking with a girl who I believe goes to a digressive COC. She told me up front she was divorced via her husband having an affair. About 5 years ago she got divorced due to her husbands cheating. She has told me he cheated multiple times and even had a child outside the marriage. She said he confessed to the cheating. Even after all this she tried to work it out with him, but he would not even go to marriage counseling for which she pleaded with him to go. Given his inability to be faithful and not even want to try to save the marriage, she finally decided to divorce him and has been single ever since. I asked if she was faithful to her husband during their marriage and she said yes. Is she scriptually ok to marry again? What steps should I take to make what she is saying is true, and also make sure the church would be ok with it if we got married? Also what steps should I take if she is willing to convert to the one cup COC? Thanks
