Bible Question: My 2 Q's conern 1 Tim 3:6 (1)How recent is recent? Could this be a man who has been saved for less than 3 years? (2)Would the referred to position of an overseer in this case be applied to a director of youth ministries in a Baptist church today? |
Bible Answer: 2newwings, look at 1 Tim 4:12 ... and less than three years may be okay. The nominating board, deacons and pastor probably knew about this before the congragation voted on him. It is not always the phyiscal and spiritual age ... there are older people that should never lead. Searcher |
