The important fact is that he can be forgiven and restored to the ministry.

He probably showed signs of repentance, I hope so.

He can be forgiven, but not restored to the pulpit.

There is no such thing as restoration to the ministry.

Clearly you are not a true believer. How dare you believe multiple first hand police reports vs the man of God's word. Haven't you read "touch not mine annointed"?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

I'm sure that is exactly why they didn't vote him out.
