Should this man be banned form ever doing anything in the church as far as ministerial wise? I cannot say, absolutely! I believe the very foundation of our belief is forgiveness and restoration. We are too much, "off with his or her head".
What does it truly mean, not what we have been taught by a human mind of vengeance or carnality, the gifts and calling of God are without repentance?

Does that work the same for the pastor that went to prison for molesting his daughters? His calling to the ministry still intact?
