But Jesus called them to him and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." (
Mat 20:25-28)
This is a portion of scripture that just does not seem to mesh with IC church structure and practice. IC churches exalt our great ones to places of authority and rule over others just as Jesus' first statement said concerning the Gentiles.
