    I agree with this. But I know some men who have been divorced, and who are now effective in ministry. I agree that it is rare. Character flaws that lead to divorce will many times negate some of the other stipulations for ministry.

    I agree. That is the reason why the qualifications are present tense. Not one of us qualified at one time but that has changed due to a number of things.

    No as long as the marriage did not fail after he was saved because if him. If it happened before his savation he might be qualified. It could be that she left him because she could not stand his calling or faith. What matters is that he is a one woman man. However he as would any candidate needs to be looked at carefully to be sure he is a one woman man.

    It's sad when Dean Martin has a better take on marriage than some churches:
