I think this sums up the major point of contention here. I believe it may be a simple matter of semantics vs actual beliefs. I saw Lost and Found say something similar earlier and it got me thinking.

I don't, and it seems most posting here don't, equate preaching with the bishop/elder position in a church. BB and L&F may be arguing something entirely different than we are. I *think* I might almost agree with L&F. Not sure about BB yet, I still think we're a long ways apart, but then again after reading this maybe I'm wrong.

What I'm going to need to study out is what the Bible really says about preaching in relationship to leadership. I sort of know what it says about teaching so I'll be brushing up on that too. I'll also be looking for scripture to back up (or not..I try to go into these sort of studies neutral) my belief that preaching and teaching are two seperate things.
