Should we teach others to rebel against standards?

Jesus sends His students out in twos, not in ones. Because of the checks and balances of accountability to each other. Paul shows us this in the book of Galatians when he withstood Peter (an elder in the church longer than Paul) to his face in front of the entire congregation. Plus in front of visiting ministers sent from Jerusalem by James. Rebuke before all that all may fear isn't against young saints in a church being scolded by the pastor. It is for ministers correcting unruly rouge ministers. Yes, give honor to where honer is due, but that isn't just one man. We don't have a Roman Catholic priest system.

Where is the traditions they had then fit here today? Should there be several bishops, elders, and one Pastor for each church? That would mean several counsels for any given situation. If the men of wisdom find that the angel
did mean the Pastor, why wasn’t it written to the church instead? Just to note, John said “I was in the spirit on the Lords day” Angel to what we know is the messenger of God. I wonder if John saw what the Pastor is to the church (spiritually)? Back to the subject, of we have several Pastors, Bishops, Elders in the church would that be considered several heads to the church?
