I think there's a huge difference between Charles Stanley's divorce and John Howard Yoder's sexual abuse.

Yes. I don't think God will judge Yoder based on the yardstick he used to judge others. In Yoder's case, I think it will be based on God's moral standard.

Sure, but that doesn't really answer the question on how to handle Yoder's theology in the here and now.

As with any resource, take what is good and leave what is not.

I avoid quoting anyone by name in public speaking - anyone who professed faith and relationship with Christ but is not known to have repented of their sin. I used to quote Ravi Zacharias publicly. I no longer do.

Speaking of judging others, here are many scriptures regarding judging others. Some to consider as we talk about other professing Christians.

Good example.
The important part is, warning away from idol worship, which is ‘way too much promoted in western culture.
The wakeup calls can be painful. But so important!!
