Are you a pastor?

Did you aspire to pastor this church?
Did the membership vote him in as pastor?
Or did they have a new pastor installed regardless of their opinion?
I think these are all questions that deserve truthful answers.
It’s not okay to say that if God isn’t in it, then it will amount to nothing. The church in the New Testament didn’t say that. It was the Jewish leadership that said that. It’s definitely not a model for the church to follow IMHO.

No to all of your questions.
As far as what the membership voted on, I’m assuming no.

Re: Sons Inheriting Churches from Fathers $$$
Sounds good. Apparently lefty just woke up, not knowing anything about La Grande except what..... someone told him, researched James P, that many dont even know exists, and began a thread?
Coincidence? I think not.
The charges he brings about that assembly are false though. There are good men that are on the board, the church is having good solid growth, people are getting the HG, sounds like God is pleased with the transition...
Is lefty going to withdraw his false statements about the assembly and J Parker practicing nepotism?
Random......
"Snort...."

Brother,
You said that leftcoast1 went to the meeting. He says that he didn’t.
You said that he had designs to be pastor the church. He denies having such aspirations.
You say he brought false accusations of nepotism? Well, I don’t hear anybody denying that his son was installed as pastor, or even that he had something to do with it. Which leans heavily towards nepotism.
You pretended to know what was going on. Then you checked it out. It seems that your credibility might be a bit weak.
What do you have to say for yourself?

I don't know of that church, so no it wasn't them.

Are you talking about the church I spoke of in Florida? That elder and his wife don't have any sons that I'm aware of. I know they have two daughters and they're married to evangelists that came from other churches.

And this bestows ownership and dictatorial powers upon him? How is this Biblical?

The church I am referring to is about 30 minutes south of the one you are talking about.

I’m not saying this just about you, yet, there are still churches, that still have saints, that still have trust in their Pastor or their leaders.

Having trust in one's pastors and elders is not in question. What is in question is the wisdom in church members adopting a dictatorial/autocratic/ authoritarian form of government for their assembly. In my opinion, the Southern Baptist model is not perfect, but far better than anything I have seen in the Apostolic ranks. It is a constitutional form of government based on the separation of powers.
