See? A Church group is not recognized just because it has a building to meet in with a name over the door. Rather it is recognized because it is the pillar and ground of the truth. When false doctrine is being taught nothing says we are to compromise with it. Just because a Pastor says he is one means little if he is not moving in Gods agenda. |
This is my thoughts. Yet, I have heard over and over that each believer
must have a pastor to be an authority over them.
So...I just want to know what scriptures apply to a pastor's duties, authority etc. What are the boundaries to submission?
I have not been able to get a reasonable answer yet.
