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?

Also, the text about gifts and calling of God without repentance seems to be referring to the election of the Jews, a covenant thing. Not referring to gifts of ministry or office of bishop.
The issue isn't can he be restored, but holding a ministerial position, he is the asst pastor, while married to the woman he left his wife over..
