If for whatever reason he felt to give me some strong admonition, I would receive it and obey him, unless he told me to do something that was unscriptural.

But I trust him and know him well enough to know that he won't do that.

I'm with Barb, this is being overcomplicated.

I understand that if you believe that ONE guy who you acknowledge as your pastor tells you you need to move from where you are, you need to move. Afterall, that's what obedience is all about!

No body has to OBEY their guides. They need to thoughtfully and soberly consider the qualifications of their guides and the witness of their guide's counsels.

But following is all about free choice when it comes to a guide.

Not following a ruler is all about rebellion.
