There is an (3) inflated view of pastoring ministers in Pentecostal circles. This isn't something new and unheard of. Most of this is why there are so many unbiblical practices and traditions. They rely on their "authority" to do these things.

(1) Why?
(2) Agreed that we should steer clear from any Pastor or any person who thinks they are exempt from accountability.
(3) In the very specific case of my Pastor, I am 100% confident that this man of God does not overstep, is not forceful, or abusive or anything like that. I have heard of abusive Pastors before, and my Pastor does not fit this bill at all.
He is a very good man.
