“The Pastoral Epistles”?
The word pastors only appears once in the New Testament (Ephesians 4:11).
Paul uses the word servant and evangelist (I Timothy 4:6; II Timothy 4:5). Nowhere in the New Testament do we read anything about one man leading a congregation. The word pastor is referring to an elder or bishop. All three are the same role.
I Timothy 1:2,18 – Paul repeatedly referred to Timothy as his son or his child in the faith. This seems to have been a term of endearment. Possibly Timothy was converted through Paul’s teaching. Compare Matthew 23:9.
I Timothy 1:3-4 – See II Peter 1:16.

May 11, 2014The Local Church
God’s one true church has distinct characteristics that distinguish it from the denominations of man.
If a church preaches and practices what is taught in the NT, it is of Christ. Being of Christ or not is not determined by what is on the sign in front of the building.
