I have fallen into the sin of fornication before from a previous relationship but have since genuinely confessed and repented to God, and the church is thinking of sending me for seminary next year. Also, I didn't tell anyone in the church about my past sin, as I have seen some online threads saying that it's not always important to confess every single sin to everyone so long we have genuinely come before God to repent.
I know that saint Augustine was bondaged to this sin before he converted, and once he converted he no longer gave in to this sin and led a life of celibacy despite experiencing temptations. So one may say that past sin as a non christian does not disqualify one from ministry. In my case however, I committed the sin of fornication when I was already born again. It has been more than a year since I fell into this sin, and I do not struggle with pornography or other forms of sexual immorality if that matters. Hence, I am wondering if this should disqualify me from seminary, despite how strongly I feel about feeding His sheep.
