Members No Nicolaitans Posted August 2, 2017 Members Share Posted August 2, 2017 Sorry friend, but no scriptural references will suffice without further clarification. Has the person asked for God's forgiveness? Has he repented? Is he now married to the mother of the child? Is this only referring to preaching as a layman, or are you referring to pastoring a church? I'm not attacking you...just need more information in regard to the situation. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members swathdiver Posted August 2, 2017 Members Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Well, any saint can preach. A divorced saint, an ex-con saint, a former professional sports saint, they can all preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Now can they pastor a New Testament Church? Well now, that's another question entirely! Would a man who desires the office of a bishop has a child out of wedlock be blameless?

Members Raymond Fate Posted August 2, 2017 Members Share Posted August 2, 2017 I would say he would fail in the blameless qualification and having his house in order swathdiver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
