    Based on the above --your own words. That "kind of a church" is not church at all. Indeed,it is non-traditional --non-biblical.

    Lay out to me scripturally how it is not Biblical,

    The Conservative Baptist Conference should be able to help. Bob Jones, Dallas Theological and Southern should have candidates.
    Good to see people stepping up and doing the work. The early church had no ordination council so who's to say God doesn't already have your pastor at the church.

    The people who run it......they have a standard they are looking for & they probably wont compromise (like a guy out of just out of seminary). And that will not include anyone who is now a member. If anyone would like to discuss it privately just PM me.

    Since getting saved four decades ago, I've always known something was
    suspect about the idea that Jesus was this all-encompassing nice guy Who
    would never hurt a fly, let alone defend Himself against some street bully,
    or workplace bully, so forth. I was always taught from the get-go that all
    Christian's were not only to follow the "example" of Jesus (turn the other
    cheek, do good to those who persecute you, feed your enemy, ad nauseum,)
    but Christian's had a duty to become passive and gentle for the Lord's sake.

    I remember this conversation back on July 20th, 1974, as plain as the day
    it took place:

    When I asked one Pastor about this and focused on our rights to protect our
    lives and property, he replied: "When you become a Christian, you don't have
    those rights!" Then he added: "If you haven't forfeited those rights, then you
    need to get on your knees and repent! The Lord will do all your fighting for
    you. Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord..."

    When I asked: "What about our Founding Fathers? When they took up arms
    to forge this nation, and that meant taking the lives of British soldiers, weren't
    half or more of our Founding Fathers Born Again Christians?"

    His reply: "I'm sure many British soldiers were saved too, so what's your point?"

    "You just answered my question with a question, so that means you don't have
    an answer, do you?"

    I never went to him for any advice again.

    Take a gander at 1 Corinthians and the Pastoral Epistles for starters.

    I am well familiar with them. What do you assume will be a violation of what Paul said?
