Qualifications of Bishops
1 Timothy 3:1-7
1 This is a true saying, If any man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a worthy work.
2 A Bishop therefore must be unreproveable, the husband of one wife, watching, temperate, modest, harberous, apt to teach, 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not covetous, 4 One that can rule his own house honestly, having children under obedience with all honesty. 5 For if any cannot rule his own house, how shall he care for the Church of God? 6 He may not be a young scholar, lest he being puffed up fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 He must also be well reported of, even of them which are without, lest he fall into rebuke, and the snare of the devil.Steve
1 Corinthians 14:8
And also if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to battle?
