Help with a Christian friend, Christian answers only please.Its a long one sorry.?

Hello I am a born again Christian who was just saved less than a week ago. I am doing really good and the old sinful life is fading very fast for me. However my husband was saved two weeks ago and is doubting his faith (the devil is still trying to win the battle). Our mutual friend has been a born again Christian for 3 years now and has def changed as a person and prob a great leader in leading us into the light. However, before my husband was saved this person made a promise to my husband that he would give him a job and got him all reved up for this new job(my husband has a very dark past and really bad reputation, however he did change his ways long before he got saved but ppl still need proof that he changed) we kept hearing rumors that our friend was telling ppl that he wasnt hiring my husband and that he was hiring someone else. After my husband was saved our friend tells him that he isnt hiring him and that he hired someone else because of his past and that he had made his mind up before he got saved and that he wished that he had not done so but cannot take back what he had already done. My husband was heart broken and of course doubted his faith but then relised yes I was a bad person before and I should of been prepared for this. Then of course me being the one who was not saved at the time, lashed out at our friend in anger and rage and told him he wasnt being a good Christian and that I could follow his example and become a Christian myself because I didnt want to act like that if I was saved and that he shld ask god for his forgivness before I could forgive him. He then came around and appoliged to my husband and told him he would find something for him to do and began again to get my husbands hopes up. I than forgave our friend and hoped that with God in my husbands life that our friend would not disappoint us again.I then gave my heart to Jesus a few nights later and things have been going better. Of course we are still hearing terrible rumors that our friend is denying but some of the rumors are coming from other born again Christians who are really close to him and its really getting my husband down. He then asked our friend if he was going to have work for him and he said that he didnt know because he wasnt sure when he would be starting the work. I told my husband to just put his faith in God and trust that he will take us down the right path and not to put our trust in our friend because he may be a Christian but he is still a human. However my husband is frustrated that his friend and his family our doubting his salvation and are questioning some him because he hasnt quite smoking yet even though he is trying and its been real hard on him. We just need some advise on how to deal with this other than praying or talking to God. Should we take it to our Pastor or should we just let it be and trust in Jesus?
