Ok in theory but having one leader over the others, and he happens to be a wolf or a false teacher, then that could be very, very dangerous.

I was tracking until the end conclusion about one elder above the others. It sounded like that was a practical belief but not supported with any Scripture.

Maybe this is a me problem, but my last 2 churches were elder led and there was a pastor ousting with zero explanation. I understand anonymity, but both felt very deceptive and good ol boy club related.

Elders leading regarding spiritual matters is one thing. Elders making decisions about finances and general management matters is another. The elders may have good biblical knowledge but poor business and planning acumen. It seems a committee of better qualified men regarding business decisions should lead the charge for, say, major financial decisions, and the congregation should be able to exercise voting authority for the same.

The Som does not submit to the Father nor does the Spirit submit to the Father. Each is truly God and equal in power and authority.

But there is a lot of issues that come with Pastor lead, and the reason being is this, why did the children of Israelites want to king when God said, explicitly, he wanted to be their king? In third John verses 9 and 10.

Are the church leaders in the Bible got paid a monthly salary? Or they all had to live on faith as everyone else?
