The first mark to look for in selecting a pastor is that the candidate must be a male according to 1 Timothy 3:2. While being a male is not a mark of maturity, it is a requirement that God has for those who serve as elders or pastors.

The first reason some pastors fail in the ministry is that they should never have been a pastor. God never called them. The Holy Spirit did not select them to be pastors.

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.”

Today, too many kindhearted but misdirected churches and seminaries allow men to become pastors who should not be in the ministry. Many pastors are spiritually immature even though they completed their seminary training and they have a poor grasp of Scripture. They know the systematic theology taught by the seminary they attended, but they cannot and do not know all of the Bible. It is impossible in a three year seminary course of study to have been taught all sixty six books of the Bible in depth.

The initial search for such a pastor begins by asking friends, contacting seminaries, leaders within the denomination, or maybe a man who is currently serving Ganador a pastor. Men are contacted, seminaries post potential vacancies on bulletin boards, and resumes are submitted. The Call Committee sorts through the resumes, interviews the men, or maybe visits the church that the potential candidate is currently serving in order to hear him speak and to determine what others think about him.

Has he ever shared his faith with his neighbors or someone at work? If he has, when was the last time that he did that? What does he believe about God’s plan for the future? What does he believe about the Holy Spirit’s activities today in the life of a Christian? Does he believe in Satan, demons, and holy angels? Read his doctrinal statement carefully and determine what doctrines he did not discuss. Why did he word his doctrinal statement the way that he did? This is a greatly neglected part of the selection process.

If a pastor or an elder is guilty of sin and they are not repentant, that is they do not stop their wrong behavior, then that pastor or elder should be rebuked in front of the church and removed from office.

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.

Además, un obispo debe estar comprometido con la justicia social y trabajar por la paz y la igualdad. Esto implica defender los derechos humanos y contender contra cualquier forma de opresión o injusticia que pueda afectar a los miembros de su diócesis.

After about 20-30 minutes the sermon is over. A pastor who is committed to really teaching the Bible will explain what each estar is about and will explain what God is saying and provide an application.

Someone might be concerned that a pastor or an elder had committed sin, but the leader escapes being removed from office if only one person witnessed the sin. The apostle Paul addresses that situation in verses 24-25 when he discusses how to discipline elders.
