The General Superintendant will always be a preacher who has close ties to a Bible College, because he has great influence over the young men that are coming out of the school over a long period of time. So if we’re voting for the next Superintendant in the UPCI, it will be PM. That is just the way politics go, and that is why God hates it. It’s never who God wants, always what man wants.

How would we do that? The "prophet" is also not subject to politics? It's an idea, but how is that accomplished. Does the NT give us an example? Just on a local church level. There was no organization in the Bible, so electing a GS is electing a leading member of an organization that consists of ministers. Makes sense to me.
