I have a good friend who is an ordain minister in his Southern Baptist church. I read some of the requirements of being an elder. I assume you'll need to be an elder or perhaps elder and minister have the same requirements. I'm wondering if a person can be forgiven and become an ordained minister after a divorce many years ago and had a serious affair which has been exposed and dealt with his wife.
I believe I read that elders and other important officials in churches should not be a divorced person and been in a affair.
Personally, If I wanted to have serious discussion and consultation, I would rather trust a person who hasn't been divorced and is somewhat followed the bible's guidelines to be a minister. How can a divorced consult another person in marriage? My question here is: What does the Bible say about the requirements of being an ordained minister?
