Re: The Husband Of One Wife
So, the one and only qualification to be in leadership and ministry is repentance?
Husband of one wife? Means only one at a time...
Pastor turns serial killer? No problem - if repented.

Re: The Husband Of One Wife
As far as I know, the bible doesnt say that "shepherds" are to be restored to their shepherding, after they break the requirements to have that position, be it by shackin up with prostitutes like Swaggert, or say child molestation of teen girls, murder or whatever....(ohhhh, if a brother be overtaken....-yeah right)
well....as long as they stop (settle down with only one new wife) and if they do it again, as long as they stop the next time.... 
I guess if folks have That low of expectAtions for their leaders, more power to them...

Re: The Husband Of One Wife
And if they repent, yet "fall" again(and again and again)ye which are spiritual restore them (back to being a pastor) in a spirit if meekness (70 X 7 if that's what it takes cause that's scripture!) considering thyself could stumble....
Forgiveness does not always equal restoration of ministry
(Tho maybe I've gotten a little off topic ?  )

Actually it does mean just that, IF, the one needing forgiveness also has the money and power to grant himself restoration.
For example, if Bishop Eddie Long were on a team of Elders of a smallish church with no money... think he would still be the leader of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church?

Re: The Husband Of One Wife
Our record begins with our new birth. ALL prior sins are washed away or remitted we are new creatures. However since being in the church the qualifications are clear for bishops-elders-deacons only one marriage is allowed unless the companion dies. For man to marry a divorced woman then he disqualifies himself.

Re: The Husband Of One Wife
I don't think any single person here questions whether one who falls can be restored to Christ.
The context of I Tim 3 is Bishops, Elders and Deacons.

Point blank. Period. End of story.

Jesus also told the healed lepper to show himself to the priest. Given that Christ explained this teaching in response to the Pharisee's question regarding the law, I believe this is pre-cross and isn't binding today. Paul demonstrates that this isn't a hard rule with the Pauline privilege to remarry under abandonment by a non believer.
