You are right, Jesus Christ is our King. Would he call the pastor that is sinning a hypocrite? Would he sit him down?
The only way we are forgiven is if we repent of our sins. I think the real question should be, if that Pastor repents should he be allowed to Pastor again?

Repentance happens once. After that you just ask for forgiveness.

Yikes! If I were that Pastor that would have made me very uncomfortable but I know the reality is that in some subsets of Pentecostal culture there are those who do think that way.

"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."

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Moral failures are not monopolized by any label. From Lib to con. In recent days we have seen both ends plagued by this horrid sin. I am close to a Conservative church where the pastored failed. As far as the Memphis situation I can hardly see how he would have been seen as a conservative. I am praying for the church. Both instances are so sad and so many good people are hurt. My prayers are with them all.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
It is just as heartbreaking when a believer not in positions of power commit adultery. It hurts the whole Christian community.

Typical balderdash, Steve. You're such a manipulator.
