What is the second biblical exception for remarriage after divorce cited by the Assemblies of God?

• A. When an unbelieving spouse initiates divorce, the believer is set free to remarry without adultery.
• B. When both spouses are believers.
• C. After mutual agreement between families.
• D. Never allowed to remarry.

Answer: (C)

In this teaching, remarriage after divorce has two biblical exceptions. The second exception is when an unbelieving spouse initiates or deserts the marriage. In that situation, the believer is considered free to remarry. The biblical basis is 1 Corinthians 7:15, which says that if the unbelieving partner leaves, the believer is not bound in such cases. This aligns with the idea that the marriage relationship can be dissolved by the action of the unbelieving spouse, releasing the believer to remarriage. The other options do not reflect these scriptural exceptions: mutual family agreement isn’t presented as a biblical basis for remarriage, remarriage only when both spouses are believers isn’t an exception described in Scripture, and “never allowed” contradicts the scriptural allowances.
