My denomination, is doctrinally confessional and politically congregational. A "rebuke", even of clergy, is seldom public and most often is administered at the congregational level. A rebuke would not lead to a removal from the clergy, which is administered at the synodical level, unless the clergyman was unrepentant or heretical. The heresy is not determined by a church council, however, but by reference to the confession (most often called the Book of Concord).
Doesn't help much, does it.
