THAT is the glorious thing about the bride, no local assembly or even organization has a monopoly. That is where the diversity comes in.
But as long as you are part of a local assembly respect and honor the office of pastor.

Vision = dress standards?
Vision = mission of the Church?
The idea that any of that is in the pastor's job description is itself not biblical.
And the idea of one pastor leading (becomes hard not to "lord" when that happens) isn't really biblical either. But we'll save that one for another day.
