Bible Question: Is it scriptual to have only one elder in the christian church and do they have to attend a training program with the evangalist before being ordained as an elder? Also If an evangalist is not a part of the congregation then is it his decisssion to object an elder that the congregation approves of? |
Bible Answer: Imoneofgods, Look at Titus, and 1Tim 3:1-13, there is no training for an elder, it comes by the report of the congregation, so long as he fulfills the requirements of God in scripture.An evangelist, not being a member of the congregation should not be allowed to vote unless agreed to by the congregation and then only if he has specific imformation to hold up against the elder. There can be more than one elder. DL5 |
