I've always wondered if born-again criminals get arrested or report themselves to the police station after confessing of their hideous crimes in church. If they don't, shouldn't they?? Isn't dat restitution

The church still hands some of them over to police but not for prosecution. Its to submit their weapons and other things. That's for self confessed. Riminals, But someone who is on "WANTED " list . If he shows up in a church. He would be led to christ quiet well but he still need to report himself and due process follow. He may be prosecuted for what he was "WANTED " except a miracle takes place.

I think that is fare enough but what if he or she is not willing to turn him or herself in to authority what then should the church do perhaps he or she anticipates the worse

l think l have a concern with expression ". . . born-agian criminals . . ." possibly you ment a criminal who becomes bornagain because 2 Corinthians 5:17(Amp)
17 Therefore if any person is[ ingrafted] in Christ( the Messiah) he is a new creation( a new creature altogether); the old[ previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

There's nothing to do about it from my point of view. Except to admonish him. If he is on wanted list, he will have better pardon turning himself in. But if he doesn't turn himself in,he will definitely be caught one day and the end will be bad.
If he want to take his chance it's left to him in my own opinion. If he is genuinely born again I don't think the its right for church to betray him . They should rather counsel him to do and ge him to see reason for turning himself in. Genuine repentance will listen.

interesting, but is it a question of BETRAYAL because the sounds very strong
