Furthermore, this whole thing came to light prety recently. I think these guys want to preach because they don't want to work a secular job. Todd Bentley comes to mind. They are exposed with some scandal, and it seems just as soon as its no longer national news thy're chomping at the bit to get back. It smacks of a hirling to me, not repentance. |
Ditto. 
And repentance is not the question. As you said, it's qualification.
