Absolutely. Grace isn't measured with time and provides no obligatory hurdles for us to jump before saturating us with approval

If that next day you turn to Him? Yes. Always. Of course. "However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them." John 6:37

If the man truely found grace he wouldn't want to back to the hooker on monday. If he continued to go then a grace church should gracefully kick him out til he repents back to grace then the church should gracefully received him back.

Anomaly.
Hardly normative for Paul's idea of the Church. The "wicked one" was an incestuous man, loudly boasting of his continual affair before the congregation. Also, in the context of a city that was pretty immature in their faith (fornication, greed, etc was rampant among the believers there).
I find is suspicious that anyone would use this store as a normative procedure for church discipline.

Where'd you get that from? Everyone is welcomed to "come and see," hang with the believers, even worship with us.
He came for the unrighteous, not the righteous. Careful that you see yourself so much better than the hooker.
Nothing worse that when smart alec posters build up fatty straw men and then get a tickle out of it.

Mmmm, but this is SO wrong. Why is it that complete love, restoration, acceptance, and embracing of a person is always perceived as approval for what they've done?
