[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Mark 9: Biblical Understanding of Leadership.
Matthew LaPine has left a new comment on your post "Mark 9: Biblical Understanding of Leadership":
Fair question. But which is set forth as a pattern to follow? It would seem to me that Biblically a church has a responsibility to pay those who are devoted to the word. I wonder if churches following this model offer said support to their lay elders? Although if I were Dr. Hartog answering my question, perhaps I would tend to ask how could a "lay elder" have the time to devote to faithful study like he needs to (which seems to be the pattern of pastoral leadership). Either way, at this point in time having unpaid elders WHO FIT THE PASTORAL QUALIFICATIONS doesn't seem to be a huge concern to me.
