The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 (NASB)

In short the above passages and Acts 20:28 reveal that the Holy Spirit has rejected the man from ministry at this point in time. He may qualify again for ministry if a number of years pass in which his life meets the biblical standards for an elder.

Does he want to be in control? Unfortunately, the Call Committee will only discover this by asking the leaders of a church that he merienda pastored.

Los obispos forman, cercano con el papa, quien es a su ocasión obispo de Roma, el Colegio episcopal, en el que este último ostenta la primacía: «En virtud de su oficio, el Romano Pontífice no sólo tiene potestad sobre toda la Iglesia, sino que ostenta incluso la primacía de potestad ordinaria sobre todas las Iglesias particulares y sobre sus agrupaciones, con lo cual se fortalece y defiende al mismo tiempo la potestad propia, ordinaria e inmediata que compete a los Obispos en las Iglesias particulares encomendadas a su cuidado».[10]​

Lord willing, this document will prove to be an encouragement and blessing to those who have the wonderful task of searching for a new shepherd of the sheep. The following thoughts are the result of someone asking if voting for a pastor was like casting lots. The answer to their question was, “Yes, if biblical principles are not followed.”

Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses. Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.

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

El nombre técnico para el color que usan los cardenales es "grana". Este color los distingue como miembros del Colegio Cardenalicio y como "príncipes" de la Iglesia.

Titus 1:9 says that a pastor must hold to the “faithful word” – the Word of God. It is not enough for the Call Committee to read the doctrinal statement that he submitted when he applied for the position. How much of the Bible does he really know? If he is a recent seminary graduate, he should have a good grasp of scripture; but if he has been demodé of seminary for some time his grasp of scripture might be poor if he does not spend very much time studying it.

Por otra parte, los obispos escogidos de las distintas regiones del mundo se reúnen en ocasiones determinadas para fomentar la unión estrecha con el papa y entre ellos.

Those who might object to the conclusion, because they believe that we are not to judge others, should carefully read the study “Gozque We Judge Others?” You will discover that Jesus was not preventing us from evaluating the character Check This Out of potential spouses or the qualifications of leaders for example; otherwise, we would not have any basis on which to select any potential husband, wife or leader. What is important is to please our Lord by selecting the pastors and leaders He wants.

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NASB)

These passages assume the household is a family of believers. Thus, if any pastor or elder who has unbelieving family members or family members who are rebellious, then he is not qualified to be a pastor or an elder in a church.

Los obispos se encargan de velar por las iglesias locales bajo su control a través de la figura de las diócesis, que se organizan principalmente en una de las ciudades que englobe y cuya sede principal es la catedral, desde donde imparten el derecho canónico y confiere los sacramentos.
