Some types of misconduct are rarely the result of a one-time moral lapse, such as sexual misconduct involving children, or of a homosexual nature, or repeated marital infidelity. Individuals guilty of sexual misconduct that involves a high probability of repeated misconduct should not be restored to good standing. These individuals also should not be permitted to serve in any position of leadership, trust, or ministry in the local church. (605.1–605.2, 605.5, 605.11–605.12)
