Oh good grief. 
Your overblown what ifs are ridiculous.

Re: An Old "Friend" Seeking to Line Me Up
My question is why did the rebuker feel comfortable to tell the good friend he was going to set things straight? Sounds like this good friend is talking from both sides.

rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

I try to listen to rebuke. Many times others see us from an unbiased perspective. At least a person should weigh things in the balance before coming to conclusions. The particulars would be important to know before saying anyone is right or wrong.

Re: An Old "Friend" Seeking to Line Me Up
Why can't we just look for the best in people?

Re: An Old "Friend" Seeking to Line Me Up
I think that too many times those that feel they are in "the right" feel they can use whatever methods they want and the ones that are having the methods used on them are obligated to swallow it hook line and sinker without comment other than humble acceptance and agreement. Honestly I dont respond well to being ambushed in ANY aspect of my life.
Bro I'm glad you got a heads up and was able to prepare. Who knows...maybe your attitude and demeanor will convict him and plant a seed. I used to judge and condemn those that I felt were not somehow measuring up. I held wrong attitudes in my heart against good people that I felt were wrong and out of line because they held views that I didnt. I'm thankful that is behind me. I no longer sit back with a self righteous and smug attitude judging others. I DO look for the best in people...I try and connect with people on what we agree on and not have discord over what we dont.

Yep. Sometimes God's ministers make tents while they preach.

I thought you would post that, but no, as far as the definition of bivocational pastor is concerned, Paul wouldn't be classified as one.

I think it's safe to say that while Paul didn't spend his entire ministry career as a bivocational minister, his work in Ephesus led the way for many such as Deacon to work a secular job to support his ministry. My personal experience would be that one should have held a job among the public for a period of time before ever being licensed. One of the greatest articles ever written on the subject, in my humble opinion, was written by this dear brother (Deacon) himself.
