Bible Question: What are the qualification for an elder |
Bible Answer: Authority by wisdom whether through age or searched out knowledge! Your mother, your father, anyone older (but not older yet dumber) than you, those in authority like cops, judges, government, pastors, priests, teachers....but remember that discernment is necessary to know which elders to follow and which to not follow...even the Antichrist will come as an authority figure and look at the elders like the Saduccees and Pharasies in the Bible who led many astray...It doesn't matter how old or young you are spirually or worldly just pray for discernment! |
