My first question concerns the epistles of Timothy and Titus. Why is it that these are called, pastoral epistles? Seeing that the only church authority and responsibility that Paul discusses are the eldership positions of the Bishop and Deacon. Paul never writes or speaks using the word pastor. So I have never been able to find a link between the eldership roles and that of pastor.
When did the practice of mid-week and Sunday evening services start? Who started this practice?
Who has control over monies coming into the church?
Our Pastor feels the Lord's Supper is something we as a Church cannot do until everyone in the Church is right. I have seen in the past where members who were in disagreement would make it right before partaking of the Lord's Supper. How do you feel about this?
Please explain the difference between a licensed preacher & an ordained preacher. Can a licensed preacher do weddings, funerals, baptisms, etc? The man I am referring to is an ordained deacon, but has only been licensed to preach.
Should we participate in the man made holiday of Lent?
My question is what is the significance of laying on hands; or what does the laying on of hands represent? On the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) the Holy Spirit fell on all assembled without the laying on of hands.
Can the blood of Jesus be used to rebuke the Devil?
My question is, can a Christian be possessed by the devil? Please give further elaboration in this matter.
