Matthew 18:15
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Galatians 6:1
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Would say that these scripture do nat apply to a minister?? |
And I totally agree with this!
As a pastor, I would always welcome someone coming to me in a right spirit. The Bible does give clear direction on how to approach an elder with whom you have issue.
What I would not condone, and what God would not condone, is the group overthrow mentality, but I think we've already established that, and I believe we're all on the same page here.
