I don't see why not--your unique experiences, I think, would make you a lot more understanding of human failings, and strengthen your Christan testimony. You can powerfully demonstrate how the Lord has worked in your own life, and so be a real encouragement to others in their spiritual struggles.

You should have no problem at most Methodist seminaries. Some people might give you a hard time but that should be their problem and not yours. Best of Luck.

For God "SO" Loved The world [put your name there instead of world] that He [the father] gave [Jesus the second member of The Godhead gave Himself] so "IF" you will BE-LIVE in Him should have everlasting life Jn 3:16, and IF you Love Him keep His commandments Jn. 14:15 and the last command of God in Matthew the last chapter and the last verses if you have a red letter edition its in red says go YE into all the world... it says nothing YE can not do if you have a baby, male female, it just says GO YE, that includes you, have a desire to get free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com bible questions www.bibleinfo.com talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless

yes!
Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
No one is perfect we all mess up.
If it is Gods will for you to preach the Gospel, then you will.
God will forgive everyone.
I see no reason why they would not.
When Marry was about to be stoned for being a prostitute, Jesus stopped them saying, Let the first man who hasnt committed a sin cast the first stone. All of them being sinners dropped their stones and walked away.
God Bless You!

Then study the bible with one of Jehovah's Witnesses and learn the truth of Gods word.

I don't know. Try for going Episcopal, maybe.
Oh, by the way, you might want to ask at the local prisons. Whatever denomination takes such folk will definitely not have a problem.
I had a kid young, i don't believe in god, and I think all of these groups are just social crap.
If you believe, you jsut need to believe with in yourself.
Social groups are by nature, controlling and money-hungry.

Why not? For all you've done in your short life and to still want to spread the word of your faith, that's great. If they refuse to accept you because of your past their wrong.

Well if they are as accepting as you and they say they are then I don't see why not. Just go for it and see what they tell you.

Instead of worrying about being accepted by others, first learn to accept yourself.
