Entendemos de alguna forma que es un sacerdote que tiene un puesto más arriba que el resto de los que conocemos normalmente, algo que intuimos por detalles que están a la aspecto, por ejemplo, la vestidura que portan.

In short the above passages and Acts 20:28 reveal that the Holy Spirit has rejected the man from ministry at this point in time. He may qualify again for ministry if a number of years pass in which his life meets the biblical standards for an elder.

The type of pastor a church gets depends upon the spiritual quality of the leadership team and the type of pastor they are seeking. Pray and ask God for direction. We would encourage you to read “Recovering the Pattern of Biblical Leadership.”

The heart of any teacher or pastor should be to study the Word of God. There they meet the Lord. When one plunges into the Word of God, the Holy Spirit Chucho then minister to that person. When a teacher’s or pastor’s heart is on fire Figura a result of bathing himself in the Word of God, then the Holy Spirit can use him to light the church on fire! Years ago a pastor admitted that he had not opened the Word of God for almost one year before he stepped into the pulpit to preach.

Lord willing, this document will prove to be an encouragement and blessing to those who have the wonderful task of searching for a new shepherd of the sheep. The following thoughts are the result of someone asking if voting for a pastor was like casting lots. The answer to their question was, “Yes, if biblical principles are not followed.”

Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason  he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” John 19:11 (NASB)

Existen algunos símbolos que son utilizados específicamente por los Obispos que hacen mostrar su dignidad. En la iglesia católica por lo Militar se visten de color morado, usan una cruz y un anillo, para las ceremonias de veterano solemnidad visten la mitra y llevan el báculo pastoral.

At the end of this document is a questionnaire which is entitled, “What Should The Pastor Do?” A number of responsibilities that pastors are sometimes expected to perform are listed. Some church leadership teams expect a pastor to perform only some of them, and some churches might expect a pastor to perform all of them.

That is, they repeat the sin and do not stop. This does not mean that those involved in the restoration of the pastor or elder must start looking for other sins. Those hombre de Dios involved in the process must not become judgmental and “pile-on” the elder.

A pastor’s primary responsibly in the ministry is to shepherd and teach the congregation that the Shepherd of shepherds has given him. The size of the congregation does not determine his success in the ministry.

The greatest and most common mistake is that they ignore the guidelines that God has given in the scriptures. When we ignore the Word of God, we are “throwing lots” or dice. What a church gets is the “luck of the dice.”

Otra tarea importante de un obispo es colaborar con otros líderes eclesiásticos, tanto a nivel Circunscrito como Doméstico e internacional. Esto implica participar en reuniones y conferencias para discutir asuntos importantes y tomar decisiones en conjunto para el bienestar de la Iglesia en su conjunto.

The requirement assumes that everyone is witness of the same sin at the same time, and to the same lack of repentance.

The principle is clear. The more biblical or spiritual knowledge a man of God has and the closer his walk with God, he Chucho be disqualified by what seems to us to be a less “serious” sin. Some claim that all sins are created equal, but John 19:11 reveals that some sins are worse than others.
