Subject: Elders not a pastor should lead church |
Bible Note: Hello Doc, You are soooo deep! What's this orthopraxy...orthodoxy? Well, I'll have to research that later. All I am asking for is one, uno , 1 scripture from the Holy Bible that says we are to have 1, one, uno pastor. I understand that your Southern Baptists have historical reasons and confessions to have a "single, full-time pastor" (your words). What scriptures did they use? Now single means one, right? So why does your congregation have three full-time pastors? Are you all disobeying the "historic Baptists confessions"? I understand history...but, things change historically. That's why the Bible has to be the final authority. That's why I said the time would come when men would not endure sound doctrine...they start to use cultural changes, historical events,etc. to dictate church-life. No, there are no perfect assemblies...but at least we can establish from the scriptures that the word "pastors" probably was not to be the one person over the church. That is not rocket science! Some things are so clear in the bible that there is no need for a commentary. His, Bereaniam |
