Bylaws Article VI. Trials and Appeals D. Judiciary Process Following the presentation of charges and the response of the defendant, the counsel and the selected spokesman for the Judiciary Committee shall be given equal time for rebuttal before the Judiciary Committee begins its deliberations. The time and order of rebuttal shall be determined by the chairman. The Judiciary Committee shall review all available facts and evidence and render a verdict. 1. Suspension a. When a minister is suspended, his credentials shall be held by the Conference Superintendent pending complete restoration. He shall be permitted to retain his benefits. b. When a minister is dismissed, he shall surrender his credentials and shall not retain his benefits. c. Before being readmitted, a minister or member withdrawing under charges or being dismissed shall make full confession and submit to disciplinary action as determined by the council to which he is amenable. d. If a minister who has been expelled or has withdrawn because of alleged immoral conduct applies for restoration to membership in another Conference within ten (10) years of the expulsion or withdrawal, he shall first be restored to his former status in the original Conference according to the rules below. However, after ten (10) years has expired, the new Conference to which he is applying for restoration shall make the restoration determination after consultation with the other Conference. 1) As the Conference Executive Council deems it advisable. 2) No expelled minister is permitted to minister in an International Pentecostal Holiness Church Member Church until he has met the requirements for reinstatement. 183
Bylaws Article VI. Trials and Appeals 3) No minister who has withdrawn under charges, without making a full confession of guilt, shall be reinstated without a full investigation in the case. e. Any minister whose credentials have been revoked and who has been incarcerated by civil authority is required to give six (6) months of proven conduct after he has been released from that incarceration before applying for reinstatement. f. All disciplinary actions and restorations on the Conference and General levels shall be at the discretion of the council to which the defendant is amenable. 2. Legal Counsel Hearings and/or trials in the International Pentecostal Holiness Church are ecclesiastical and not civil in nature. Matters involving church membership should be judged by the guidelines of the Holy Scriptures. Legal counsel shall not be permitted in ecclesiastical trials. 3. Witnesses a. The counsel for the defendant and the selected spokesman may call witnesses as deemed necessary. Questioning of witnesses shall be conducted in a Christlike manner. b. A list of all witnesses and copies of all proposed trial exhibits must be presented to the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, selected spokesman, and defendant one week prior to trial. c. Additional witnesses may be called if new evidence arises. d. All witnesses shall be persons of reliable integrity, except a person allegedly directly involved in immoral conduct. An affidavit from any person directly involved in immoral conduct shall be considered as evidence only when the defendant does not appear and contest the charges. 184
