Financial accountability is one safeguard the pastor should covet. It elevates him above any criticism of misusing congregational monies. The elders and deacons should take charge of this work with the participation of the elected pastor. The old "one man rule" can be a prelude to many evils. Paul established elders in every new congregation. The pastor is deserving of a salary in that he serves the people in the ministry of preaching and teaching constantly. Elders also can speak and teach if so gifted.

Chapter and verse that teaches Elders and Pastors are two different offices? New Testament please.
