Bible Question (short): deacons |
Question (full): Thank you for the response, however I do not completely understand... We want decons to be selected by God, but practically how does that work... we have a congregation of about 300 and we want to have biblical leadership. I donot see democracy in the scriptures so I agree that a vote is out, but who judges the test results (undoubtedly God gives the test and he judges pass/fail, but how do we keep human will out of the picture?) |
