Oh, and I agree with your post to FAL. I just don't think it fits the bill for the "the great Apostle Paul had some strong teaching about the saints not controlling the pastor" statement. The pastor serves the people, and all the people serve the Lord. There should be no "control" among those who serve and are being served in this world.

What you say is true..... BUT and IF there is a minister who is lording it over God's heritage what does the Bible say to do?
First course....would be to pray, seek God for direction, go to the pastor and let him know that you think he is overstretching his authority. He replies that you are in rebellion.
What do you do then? Do you spread your voice among the sheep? What does the Bible advocate?
I know of a poster who is asking this question right now on another forum because of a situation he is going through.
