Well, we would have to find a position that parallels our current "pastor", since it's a pastoral position we were initially discussing. The "positions" we're talking about in our current time weren't in the Bible, so we couldn't find an example either way.
I think it completely depends upon what you've done, and what your position entailed. What you were "leading" in your leadership position. In our church, musicians, Sunday School teachers and more have been immediately restored after they've repented. But if the pastor commits adultery, he's not going to be back in the pulpit the next week.
When the Bible said that a leader must be blameless, etc, what do you think that meant?
