Church Hierarchy

Persons Of Eternity: God created the heavens and the earth (Gn.1:1). Colossians 1:13-17 reveal to us that Jesus Christ performed the creation. He is also noted as our chief shepherd (I Peter 5). Gn. 1:2 tells us that the “ruach elohim”, “Spirit of God”, was hovering over the face of the waters. Within the first two verses of the Bible taken as a whole as to creating, all three of the holy persons of God are united in the work. Also, see the Nicene Creed as to former thought on the deity of Christ. The Holy Scriptures: ¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.¹

All believers are subject to the authority of God and his written word. They must worship him in spirit and truth. (Jn. 4:24)

Servants Of God: Elders (Wise men of God, text translators dividing the truth rightfully (2 Ti. 2:15), and others of Godly, profound intellect and effort throughout the world; some ordained in the local church: I Pet 5:1-5, Acts 15; 1 Ti. 5:1, 17, Titus 1:5)

• Men who acknowledge true repentance including repentant men who have fell and come back to the Lord, obeying God and walking in truth, they may have lost their quality of life so as to live as officials of the church, but have learned how to discern between clean and unclean and have been restored from impurity; however, not old mockers, self-made authorities (Orthodox and others) or their associates or followers of religious or social schizophrenia

• Men who seek a pure relationship with God and have a desire to bless God and his people

• Men who understand the law (1 Ti. 1:8-11) and are able to judge and weed the lawless: We must remember the public church is to be a pure setting with Godly ministers. God chose “before the foundation of the world... ” (Eph. 1:4) that we Christians, his chosen, live holy and blameless before him in love, how much also our local church ministers. We relate to marriage and purity with the mystery of Christ and the church. God loved and provided for his people, and our ministers must have purity and nothing significant the public may slander upon. They must be like Timothy, who was trained under the Apostle Paul (Philippians 4:9). Nevertheless, this would not prevent blatant offenders repentance and restoration (Ps. 23:3) if they discontinued and manifested their hidden darkness to the church but it would disallow their official capacity in the local church. Perhaps, if such repented and were restored they could participate with the others, and they could also still have public ministries outside of the local church. A believer of God does not lose his gifts, but he can lose his opportunity as an official of the local church. However, there are some who have not shown repentance and have not been open about their marital and sexual relationships even as ministers in a local church. Without transparency, I don't see how such a one could be either a qualified church official or have a qualified public ministry outside and other than the local church. Repentance and transparency is a necessity.

  Christians everywhere and local church members have a duty to require sexual transparency and to know whether the ones speaking to them have true repentance and qualification in their lives. Chastity testimonies should be something a righteous man would want to clarify to his audience, but hardly ever do you hear men give such testimonies of themselves. Our whole evangelism system needs to be revised and restored. No one can be personally edified as to purity by a man living in fornication or adultery or condoning such acts. The man below, Eli Yoder, has been married more than one time and openly defends and tolerates fornication and cuckoldry but has never that I know of explained whether his second wife was a virgin and whether she was any different as to marriage eligibility than his first wife, a woman of fornication. John Hagee and many other well-known, failing so-called Christians have had more than one wife. Such do not qualify for a position as a church official and an example of a participant of the pillar and ground of the truth when they are in need of repentance of an unchaste marriage. Perhaps such may annul their current relationship if they cannot prove biblical acceptance: Matthew 19:9 determines fornication or adultery. We must test for qualification.

  A Preacher Or Teacher Must Have A Testimony Of Purity And Sexual Transparency,
  Proving He Is Not Living In Fornication Or Remarriage:
  Beware Of Heretics And Those Confessing Jesus But Promoting And Spreading Their Own Laws/Rules And Tolerances Of Evil
