Pastor Dominance

Here is a posting I came across. Very interesting. I agree that the one pastor system is unbiblical. There should be a plurality of elders guarding the flock and teaching. Why go back to a "Moses" model from the Old Testament (OT), when the New Testament (NT) is a better covenant, a better way? Why would anyone want to take on the burden of being the only elder/pastor? And did you know that "pastor" appears ONCE in the NT and that "shepherd"...Ahhh. I'll let you read for yourself!

You are correct Melissa. It seems like we our going back to Rome and it's disgusting ways of heiarchy christianity. The black church is worse my sister. Evangelist, Prophet, Psalmist, Master Prophet, and whatever else they can think of.
