Scripture tells us that church leaders will be held accountable to God for their ministry. 1 Cor 3:9-15 describes the testing of their work, as by fire. Heb 13:17 specifically addresses the issue you raise - that church leaders will be held accountable for the spiritual state of the individuals in the church. With that in view, I cannot see how a church leader can justify NOT knowing, and knowing well, all the members of the church. This obviously would include their names. I think the modern trend toward huge mega-churches with thousands of members is very much a problem in many areas, with this issue at the forefront - there is no way the leader of a mega-church could fulfill his responsibility to the individuals in the body if their number is so large that it would take years for him just to say hello to everyone. |
