Sitting under a pastor?
 

CC1 brought this up. He says house churchers are usually people who refuse to submit to sitting under a pastor.

What exactly does that mean? Please explain.

For the most part it means showing up at the meeting and listening to the sermon. Not much more than that.

I doubt he has time to consider the question, let alone the answer.

I think submission to a pastor has to do with the covering doctrine.

I think that we should submit to our pastor as long as what he is leading us in is the oracles of God. I have heard it said that it is a shame to see your pastor on lawn mower and things the such is where people are going to far. People should not feel they must work for free for their pastor, do all his running, and be puppeted by him. God never intended us to place up royal figures, in essence becoming a middle man to God for us. Jesus died to end such a priesthood.

I personally have never known THAT kind of Pastor. Thankfully.
