Why would a Baptist who married a Church of Christ member 32 years ago and divorced same 23 years ago now apply for an annulment from the SC Archdiocese and does that change their kids legitimacy?

If you were not married in the Catholic Church, this marriage was not recognized and therefore not necessary for an annulment.

No. An annulment in the Catholic Church only annuls a marriage performed in a Catholic Church.

A divorced Baptist male may or may not need an annulment of his prior marriage from the Catholic Church in order to marry a Catholic in the Catholic Church. Although Baptists are able to re-marry after divorce, Catholics may divorce but may not re-marry unless the sacrament of the first marriage has been declared null. If the divorced Baptist did not have a valid Christian marriage (that is, one spouse was not a validly baptized Christian, or the ceremony was not Christian, then the annulment process is much simpler - but any prior marrriages still need to be declared null). If the first marriage was a valid Christian ceremony, then the couple desiring a marriage in the Catholic church will have to go through the 'formal' annulment process which takes considerably longer and is very thorough but very worthwhile if you love this person. The Catholic person cannot enter into a valid marriage unless this is done.

The Baptist would need to have the previous marriage annulled before the Catholic marriage can occur, they should speak to the priest at the Catholic Church who will look into the matter. If the Baptist's original marriage was valid, an annulment would not be possible and therefore a second marriage, in or out of the Catholic Church, would not be possible.

A minister can be divorced and be remarried but it will be examined in his interviews. Baptist churches are autonomous and can make their own decisions about how their church is run. Many Baptist churches will not let a person who is married a second time be a deacon of the church. A deacon is a lay person.

Assuming the catholic is a man, it is possible. The answer largely depends upon whether or not the previous marriage of the Baptist woman is considered sacramental and thus undissolvable. Catholics believe that the marriage of any two baptized Christians is sacramental, even if one or both of them are not Catholic. It is entirely possible that the Baptist woman in this situation may not have had the previous marriage be sacramental. Marriage must be done with full consent and not with any outside pressures. The previous marriage of the Episcopalian man may still indeed be intact. This is why the process of granting an 'annulment' exists. An annulment simply is a statement that a previous marriage never actually happened. In order to grant an annulment, the Church investigates the facts of the Baptist woman's previous engagement: was it done with full will and consent, without outside pressures? If so, the marriage is still in tact and the Baptist woman has a duty to her husband to live their sacrament of marriage despite how difficult or trying it may be (even if having to live separately). Such hardships may indeed be a particular kind of cross that the woman and her husband have to bear. If not, the annulment releases the Baptist woman to essentially be able to "re-marry" (or in reality, marry for the first time). Thus, the Catholic man is now able to marry the woman freely in an indissolvable fashion. I urge you to talk with your pastor about this particular situation. Annulment processes that involve non-Catholics are sometimes quickly decided.

Yes, Bishop David Evans is divorced. Bishop David Evans is the senior Pastor and Bethany Baptist Church in Voorhees, New Jersey.

In most baptist churches people can remarry after being divorced. Each church is governed by its congregation and can make this decision themselves but it is usually not a problem. The only divorce question I have known about in the baptist church is becoming a deacon.

Under current Free Will Baptist doctrine and teachings relevant to Deacons which is referenced to 1st Timothy 3:11-12, the candidate for Deacon cannot be divorced.

Yes, generally speaking, anyone can remarry, HOWEVER, in some Baptists churches, deacons and other staff members cannot be divorced, so if a deacon gets divorced, he may no longer qualify to be a deacon.

no, the members of Faith Baptist Church agreed on what the Bible says and made a choice. I was told there was a 97% vote to choose their Pastor staying.

Yes you can wed. The essence of Christianity is acceptance. But the paramount thing is that love most be existing between the couple.

John was imprisoned because he criticized Herod Antipas for unrighteous behavior, particulary in ragerd to his marriage to Herodias, who was the divorced ex-wife of Herod's half brother Herod Phillip. At the time it was considered adultery to marry a divorced woman.

There is no listed information on when Bishop David G Evans was divorced, only confirmation that he was divorced. He keeps his personal life private. Bishop David G. Evans is the Senior Pastor at Bethany Baptist Church in Lindenwold, New Jersey.

The title 'First Baptist' is assigned to the literal 'first' baptist church established in the area. Southern Baptist is a denomination. There are many Baptist denominations. As such a Southern Baptist church CAN be called "First Baptist" if they were the first Baptist church in the town. However, the First Baptist Church in the denomination could be a different Baptist denomination.

Baptist is the proper adjective for Baptist.

baptist believe once saved always saved where as freewill baptist do not believe this. I am freewill baptist i hope this answer helps you :)

"Southern Baptist" is a denomination or convention of Baptist churches. Baptist churches who choose to fellowship as members of the Southern Baptist Convention, would describe themselves as Southern Baptist. A Baptist church that chooses to describe itself as "Independent Baptist" chooses not to consider itself as a formal member of a Baptist denomination. However, they may choose to "fellowship with" or "associate with" a denomination, association, or convention of Baptist churches.

1st Baptist churches are not a separate denomination they are the first Baptist church that was established in a certain town or city. Most 1st Baptist churches are southern Baptist (although outside of the south this is not always true). As Southern Baptist churches most 1st Baptist church believe in the basic tenants of the Southern Baptist Convention as laid out in the Baptist Faith and Message.

If you read "The Baptist Faith and Message", this would answer the question of what a Southern Baptist is.

You have to be a man that: 1.) has made a profession of salvation 2.) has been baptized in a Baptist church 3.) is living a holy life according to the Bible 4.) not divorced or have more than one wife 5.) surrendered to the ministry 6.) the church in which he is a member then decides whether or not to give him a liscense to preach

A Baptist is a person who belongs to the Baptist Church. Being a Baptist implies that you have certain things in common with other Baptists, such as how you approach worship.

There is no abstract noun for the proper noun 'Baptist, a word for a person. The word 'Baptist' also functions as an adjective, which is used to describe many abstract nouns; for example, Baptist beliefs, Baptist religion, Baptist doctrine, etc.

No, Jesus founded the first baptist church

An evangelical Southern Baptist can preach anywhere.
