Restoration?
What does this mean? Usually when it comes up it's not in the context of restoring a saint to "sainthood", but rather it's about restoring a man to a position of authority and leadership.
Im not sure the bible ever addresses that topic though. Rather it gives clear guides for who shall be an elder..one of which is being blameless.
Is there biblical precedent for restoring fallen Pastors?
And please, no names in this thread
