The goal should never be to just yield to the church leadership when sin is confirmed or proven. If the elders’ conduct is unbiblical, then the congregation or a group within the congregation should attempt to call the leaders to follow God’s principles. Proverbs 25:26 warns,

Remaining church members who ask questions are accused of gossip and then disciplined. We have been told that according to 1 Timothy 5:19, only elders can remove an elder. That means the pastor and the one remaining lay elder Chucho only remove each other. The lay people cannot remove an elder. What is the proper way to handle a church situation where the saints are commanded in such a situation to obey their elders (Hebrews 13:17)?

Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me . . . Jeremiah 9:23-24

Being a spiritual leader in a church will have severe and unsurmountable challenges when you have to deal with a difficult family situation that is fundamentally a spiritual problem.

Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me . . . Jeremiah 9:23-24

Un obispo debe tener un liderazgo fuerte y ser un ejemplo de humildad y compasión. Debe estar dispuesto a escuchar y entender las deposición de su comunidad, y tomar decisiones basadas en los principios y conocimiento de la Iglesia.

Los obispos son miembros del Colegio episcopal —cuya vanguardia es el sumo pontífice— en virtud de la consagración sacramental y de la comunión jerárquica con la cabecera y demás miembros del colegio.

In Acts 26:16 the apostle Paul clearly understood that God wanted him to be an apostle. That is what every pastor must believe and sense, or he will be a failure.

Pero su poder no es ilimitado en ministro todos estos asuntos; él debe conformarse a los decretos del derecho Gozqueónico.

Second, in most churches there will be those who strongly support the pastor and believe he is a wonderful preacher or teacher, even if he is not. Some people have low standards for forming their opinions and lack informed knowledge of the Scriptures. There are often two camps in a church. One group is more committed to the accuracy of Scripture than the other group.

De las tres funciones, la de regir es la que permite crear iglesia, pues sin autoridad no hay comunidad, si no existiera una autoridad, las comunidades fueran solo conglomerados.
