Do I think that you can be saved without a pastor? I do not believe that having a pastor saves you, absolutely not. Do I believe strongly in the need to have a pastor if you are saved. Yes.
Do I believe that you are supposed to blindly follow a pastor, unquestioning and unknowingly? Unconditionally, NO. As you have stated, the Bible gives us a clear directive on our responsibility in the matter.
So, that is my humble opinion!  |
Very well said, Dizzy!
