Maybe the question is not whether a pastor has a pastor, rather what a true pastor is and what his responsibilities really are. A good place to start might be the base meaning of what a shepherd looks like.
Further more as this thread is disqualifications of ministry, where do we make the leap that qualifications for a Bishop point to ministry? The two words minister and Bishop are not even in the same classification in meaning.
A minster is a servant, how then does one give submission to a servant.
A Bishop is an overseer, superintendent. The word pastor comes from the word Shepherd, study the meaning of what a shepherd was in those days. It does not come close to the definition of what we term a pastor today, nor Bishop.
Ephesians 4 states God gave gifts to the body for the equipping of the body to minister. WE ARE ALL MINISTERS
