What is the protestant church's stand on a second marriage?
I married a catholic guy 4 years back. The marriage didn't even last 2 days, but I never got a divorce. I am now getting one and will be free in 2 months. Can I marry in a church again? I am a protestant though. Will the church agree to this? What if he comes and creates a scene at my wedding?
The gospel and the Bible mentions marriage and divorce. You can get married again if your spouse has cheated or died. There are also other cases like abuse and so on that is accepted as well. This is to go for all Christians. I don't like to separate us. Peter set out one Church under Jesus' guidance. Church meaning one body. We all share the same wonderful God and Lord. Congrats on finding love again! Your ex should not make a scene. He's not marrying you, the Lord is. God Bless!

Who cares what the church thinks? Do what makes you happy!

There are many types of Protestant churches! I am Southern Baptist and it would be ok with us but I can't speak for all denominations.

I'm a Protestant and on my second marriage. So long as your divorce is final, there isn't anything the church would do to stop your special day so long as you marry in a Protestant church.
If you were to be engaged to a Catholic, they would not likely recognize or bless the union.
The best way to keep your ex from making a scene at your wedding is to a) not invite him and b) don't tell him anything about it.
Best of luck!

Most protestant churches will allow second marriages. When your divorce is final from him, alert the minister who preforms the ceremony and the ushers if you think he might show up. Instruct the ushers to escort him out of the building, and the minister will proceed. Not a marriage stopping situation, just embarrassing.
