Surely, Originalist doesn't define mentoring as how tv1a has described it; which really is basic discipleship. I have a feeling he meant something more involved than just discipleship.
Maybe so. I see discipleship as where we learn to be a mature follower of Christ, "no more children", as Paul mentioned. I see mentoring as what Christ gave to his inner circle, or what Paul was to Timothy.

Maybe a pastor is not "obligated" to do so. But the lack of it is alrming me. The attitude seems to be , "give me 10% of your money and I'll let you work in my church for free."
