| 3: | The office of Elders, pastors and bishops The church we read about in the Bible was organized in a very simple way. A general pattern was to have 2 or more qualified men overseeing each local congregation or church. These men could be referred to as the "eldership". Each man must meet several high qualifications which the Bible lists in two passages. Elders are the spiritual leaders of a congregation. They also watch out for the souls of the members like a shepherd. Christ is the head of every local church. There is no human head of the church. The Bible is the only written creed for each local church, rather than a man-made written creed. Each local church is autonomous and self-governing. No outside interference from others. No organizational tie between local churches. No organization larger than local churches. The Bible uses Elder, Presbyter, Overseer, Bishop, Shepherd, Pastor interchangeably and they all refer to a single office in the church. Local churches appoint their own plurality of elders using 1 Timothy 3, and ... ... https://www.bible.ca/ntx-elders-pastors-bishops.htm | Size: 32K Depth: 2 Find Similar Match Info Show Parents |

If God wanted Rome to be the all time world headquarters of the church, the first century Christians knew nothing about it and God failed to mention such in the Bible.

Barrett's data leads us to conclude that there are in fact 30 Roman Catholic denominations and 41 different Orthodox denominations and only 27 "Protestant" denominations and 185 "Independent" denominations.

Leadership and government Transition from Temple to Synagogue to church: 1. Qualifications change from pedigree to morality and living spiritual faith. a. The Hebrew Jerusalem temple had animal sacrifices and special "ordained" high priests in a system of clericalism based upon pedigree. Like the dynasty of Judean Kings and scribes, the High priest had to trace his parentage back to Levi though specific genealogical records. There are many examples in the Bible of the general population rejecting the successor in prophetic and kingly dynasties. Both Eli and Samuel's children were worthless and the people rejected Samuel's sons on moral basis. 1 Samuel 2:22; 1 Samuel 8:1-5 b. Synagogues began in 280 BC as a simple group of spiritually minded common Jewish men (Non-Levite) in Egypt devoted to reading the Torah and prayer.
