Revelation 21:8 Galatians 5:19-21
First Corinthians 6:9
To receive forgiveness of sin, and restoration unto mercy by the grace of God through Jesus Christ, a man, including those who are ministers must
(1) Confess, First John 1:7-10
(2) Repent, with commitment, with a godly sorrow Second Corinthians 7:9-11. The above listed scripture are especially applicable to those who present themselves as being ministers of light, but are in truth angels of darkness, wolves in sheep clothing. Men will lie to men to cover their sins but know this, Numbers 32:23, your sins will find you out.
The apostle Peter in First Peter 5:2, while admonishing the ministry to feed the of God telling them to take the oversight willing, not by constraint or for money, emphasized that they were to be examples and not act as lords. Lords rule, leaders lead, there is a difference. Lords rule by mandate, making themselves exceptions to the laws they impose while leaders lead by example making no difference, there is the difference. That which is lawful, or unlawful for the flock of God is the same for those who lead the flock of God.
Paul in First Timothy 3:1-7, and Titus 1:6-9, clearly outline's the qualifications of the ministry. These qualifications are unchangeable. Anyone holding office in the New Testament ministry must be qualified in all these qualifications or the whole ministry is impugned, note verse six of first Timothy 3, and First Timothy 5:22. First Peter 4:17, says "judgement must first begin at the house of God." As with all things of God judgement is from the top down not the bottom up. The ministry must be the example in all things including judgement and there can be no exceptions. Adulterers, idolator's, fornicators, extortioners, effeminate, perverts, pedophile's, liars, thieves, abusers of men, false accusers, and misusers of the the people and ministers of God, and all others who live in violation of the moral laws of God have disqualified themselves from being in the New Testament ministry of God.
They can be restored unto repentance, and they can be saved out of their sins unto salvation but they cannot continue in the ministry as examples. They have disqualified themselves. We are commanded by scripture to withdraw from every man that is called a brother that does these things, Second Thessalonians 3:6. Then in First Corinthians 6:9-10, it is established that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. This being so how could they lead anyone else there? When the blind lead the blind, Matthew 15:14, they shall both fall into the ditch.
I will give allowance to the application from the Old Testament in Ezekiel 44:1-14, wherein such a one could work in natural helps around the church, but not in the attending and oversight of the people of God, or the administering of the word of God. They have disqualified themselves. I also will allow such a one a time of limitations. That after seven years passing with no allegations with proof are presented such charges will not be considered. In such a case I would consider the accused, if guilty, has repented, been forgiven and God has restored him in totality.. Anything beyond that would be left to God to judge. However if it is determined they have covered their sins with deceits and lies, and continue to unrepentantly do so they remain condemned in their sins, and thus will receive the wrath of God which is a lake of fire unto the eternal judgment of death.
