If he is carnal and bickers about everything that is exactly what they will do. There is an old saying about monkey see monkey do. I have seen many churches where what you are talking about takes place but when you watch the pastor you can usually find the reason.
I know it is not the case in all instances but for the most part.

teaching does not equal learning....i don't believe a believers maturaty is tied directly to the pastors...or pastors teachings.
"train them that way"....are we talking about dogs, seals, monkeys, or people? not sure where in the book that pastors are called trainers.
