New professing believer, is in a unequally yoked relationship with a Muslim & won't break it off
Q: My sister that is New Born Christian is in a relationship with a Muslim guy. I already spoke to her many times about unequally yoke, maybe she will kicked out from the membership of the church because of this relationship, already some elders from church wanna speak to her but still she don’t listen and she says “I’m tired of being alone and waiting for a Christian guy that never comes”
This Muslim guy is very gentleman with her, he pays attention to everything she likes, something that “Christian” men never did for her. I still refusing even meet him, I dislike this relationship because I’ve seen PLENTY stories of Christian women marrying with Muslim men and suffering of mental and physical abuse because of their culture and many of them expect the future wife to become Muslim.
What to do? I’m very angry! Why this guy don’t look for a Muslim woman and he is following a Christian girl member of a church? He even went to church with her to pretend he is “open minded” but WE KNOW how liars these men are
Please pray for my sister and help her to open her heart and understand that this is WRONG and help me minister to her.
A: She's in sin, needs church discipline. I am glad her church is actively pursuing her. They're accountable to Gid for all whom they shepherd. Likewise it's important to ensure someone's saved before they baptized them and give them membership there.
This can help you as you minister to her.
Ask her to examine if she's saved.
Go through the Gospel with her.

Remind her that when she came to Christ, her old self died and she belongs to and lives for Christ now, not herself. She needs to put to death her sinful desires and submit to God. God knows the future timing of the godly man who will come into her life. She's in coveteousness sin and idolatry of wanting someone and something God has not given her. God commands we are not to be unequally yoked, thus she needs to find a godly Christian man in church. She can ask the pastor, pastors wife, decons and mature believers in church what godly single men are in the church and among those they know who are acceptable to God for her to court and marry. It is highly probable that she's not matute enough in the Faith for God to give her to a godly man yet, cuz she's not ready.
As to Islam, it is a false religion outside Christianity and truth, and being with him is as uniting with a child of Satan. Jesus and Satan are not to be joined together just as Jesus and a prostitute aren't to. Light and darkness have no part together.
Be aware, Muslims decieve and lie, and their religion encourages it. They purposely seek out western women and Christians today, to marry, and then force into Islam. All you can do is call her to repent and live holy in Christ, which means does leaving that relationship. If she doesnt, she's in rebellion to God, and her salvation is in question. If she goes ahead with it, the church will kick her out, and leave her to Satan to chastise her, and hopefully that will bring to her senses, and not marry him or she's stuck to him for life. Whether she's saved or not and she pursues this, it will be disasterous (and she will reap the destruction she sowed). She can't try to anyone about it, it will be deaf ears (except to call her to repent and turn to Christ). She will be stuck married to him unequally yoked.
Show her this as a warning, and this

If by chance she doesn't repent, obey God and the Pastor/elders, and realizes her mistake years later, after its too late...save this resource to share with her. https://believersanswers.blogspot.com/2023/08/unequally-yoked.html?m=1
It is highly probable she's not saved, as she's living in rebellion rather than be grateful to believers for showing her her sin and correcting it. Ultimately she has to deal with her own sins and issues once she departs from the Faith.
Get equipped with the above to address her errors on Islam, and His when you encounter & engage with him. I would pray and hope your parents are saved and will call her out on this and tell her she's not welcome at home until she repents and reconciles over this [With God, yall family, and all the church elders, and the entire church].
And, do help the elders locate her to have an intervention and begin church discipline. If she thinks they can only pursue her in church 😂 she's mistaken. Help gather them to her home. 🏡 👥️👥️👥️👥️
God be with you
