Pretty shocking but then not really if TB is as unrepentant and unapologetic as it appears.

Those of you that follow my posts on AFF know that I have said since for years that I am always very leery of any preacher whose place in the wide spectrum of Pentecost suddenly shifts greatly.

It is possible that a rigid conservative preacher could change to a more liberal one from the trauma of being discovered in gross moral failure and the process of starting over.

However that would only be after a long period of introspection, Bible Study, counseling, humbleness, repentance, asking for forgiveness, oh and that whole "humbleness" thing is worth mentioning again along with meekness.

Any pastor in his situation ought to have enough sense to sit himself down and work through everything in his life and his relationship with God, his wife, his family, and the folks that he was previously shepherding.

This is way too soon to be publicly talking about your "restoration". As somebody else said "Good Grief!"
