3 | Scripture and conflict in the church | 1 Cor 11:19 | Apollos | 179468 | ||
Grace New Testament churches were led by a group of pastors or elders so the people to help you with a conflict with a particular pastor ought to be the other pastors! You should then accept the authority of the elders as a whole and if you find that you can't do so you should find a church with elders you are able to agree with. Be very careful before doing this however since (aasuming that the elders are all mature biblical men) the likielihood is that they are right and you are wrong! If it is not a major issue you may simply have to agree to differ and keep your disagreements with the elders to yourself as long as you reamin a sheep under their care. In him Apollos |

4 | Scripture and conflict in the church | 1 Cor 11:19 | kalos | 179477 | ||
Apollos, I am confused. As I understand it, in the early church each individual local church was led by two or more elders/pastors.* But if the local church I attend has only one pastor, then how am I to confer with the other pastors? There are no other pastors in my church. Grace to you, John *elders/pastors. 'The "elders" of the New Testament church were the "pastors" (Ephesians 4:11), "bishops or overseers" (Acts 20:28), "leaders" and "rulers" (Hebrews 13:7; 1 Thessalonians 5:12) of the flock. Everywhere in the New Testament bishop and presbyter are titles given to one and the same officer of the Christian church. He who is called presbyter or elder on account of his age or gravity is also called bishop or overseer with reference to the duty that lay upon him (Titus 1:5-7; Acts 20:17-28; Phil 1:1).

John Your church ought to have more than one pastor (elder). If it doesn't there may well be other leaders in the church who do not have the title "elder". In some churches this may be a board of deacons. A problem of conflict with the pastor should then be shared with the church leadership (after having been shared with the pastor). The decision of the leadership should then be accepted (Hebrews 13:7. If their decision is totally unacceptable, you should change your church. In Christ Apollos |
