Who is not welcome in your church?

This is most difficult,  but the pastors who lead GOD'S assembly look for true repentance - they must separate and remain separated until it is possible to be together without being sinful.  (if ever) 

IF there is repentance ,  everyone is forgiven and can have pure clean fellowship again (and go and sin no more).

Thank you. I posted my question to you before I saw this.

As JESUS said,  the road to life is narrow, and few are there who find it.

Some translations may say "painful", or "strict" or similar.    It is not , however, ever popular. (i.e. most people never join)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what your response has to do with banning a wife and children of someone who viewed online child porn from worshipping at church.

You have to have understanding in these things. What you say above is not scripturally sound. God is the judge not man

What God Puts together let no man put asunder.

So what is your solution for those who are divorced and remarried and are Christians? How should they get out of that sin?

It is not up to me.  It is not man's solution. (the way of men seems right, but the end thereof is the way of death).

You just quoted the solution in your post. 

The soluton GOD provided for men to be restored to HIM.

True repentance.

(JESUS died to make this even possible)

 

"Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that appears to be right, but ...

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."

Doesn't that apply to the first (and therefore, the only valid) marriage?

I can't say I disagree that they should separate once convicted that they are living in sin.

Since GOD is the JUDGE, do what GOD says.  HE does not tell people they cannot be married until their first spouse dies, , and then put them together anyway before then.  That is a severe contradiction.

What's the practice application of true repentance in this situation? divorce? leaving the marriage?

It depends on whether God put that marriage together. If he put it together it will endure if he didn't it will fail.

They shouldn't separate once they are married they are married. The are not living in sin. What do you think grace is for.

I don't understand what your trying to say above. Its quite confusing

It has nothing to do with that.   That's an a different situation entirely.
