I think we should cap all of the saints income as well. Here's what we could do. Let's say the most a saint can make is $50K a year. Everything after that should go into the church's coffers.

That would definitely restrict church growth.

How so? I mean.....unless..................surely you don't believe a pastor should give a higher percentage than the rest of the church? Cause if you do you are saying that he is held to a different level of accountability, which of course would mean that you believe he has authority with that accountability as well.

Or other ministries that could use some funding, like maybe starting a few clothes closets or food programs. That's where I think church money should be going anyway, instead of building gyms and bigger and bigger churches.

I don't see how this relates to capping the saints' income at all, so I don't understand the question.

Well if you believe a pastor's salary should be capped, why wouldn't the saints salaries be capped as well? Think of all the extra dough that would come into the church!

We could have better robes for the praise dancing team!
