The Role of a Pastor
After reading bits and pieces of a number of different threads, plus hearing different pastors making this statement "they must give an account for your soul".
What do you see the role of a pastor is?
How much are they accountable for as to what YOU do?
If they teach you scripture and you don't obey I would think YOU are responsible and have to answer for your own doings.
Am I missing something here?

Pastors are going to be held accountable for their teaching and preaching, their example, and their leadership.
Those who live a life of sin are going to answer for themselves, as all of us are.

That is a very good summation.

Re: The Role of a Pastor
There appear to be several threads on AFF addressing the topic of Pastoral Authority.

That is probably the single all time hottest and most disagreed upon topic on AFF.

Re: The Role of a Pastor
A pastors role is to equip the people of God to be the people of God.

I wholeheartedly agree.
The leadership part is something that I think not enough people realize.
Some people would rather do away with that pesky quote from St. Paul, "... follow me as I follow Christ."
Followership is a very important trait found in leaders, but I think too many people (Pastors and church goers alike) just don't like the idea of being lead and having to follow.
This is why it is so important to be a member of the right fellowship of believers-- so that the Christian can practice the art of followership, thus perfecting the art of personal leadership.

Don't remember the source:
"People are only lead in the direction they want to go."
