Joseph,

Everything within context. Sexual immorality usually is an iceberg. The one third you see is often eclipsed by the two thirds you don't. That said, if the root cause of fornication has been dealt with and the individual is currently guarding their heart well, then they are eligible for ministry.

P.S. My comments do not extend to more grievous acts of immorality such as criminal sexual behavior. In those cases a person should never enter into vocational ministry.
