Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you - Hebrews 13:17.
The word "rule" does not exist in the original Greek in the New Testament concerning the Five-Fold Offices in the Body of Christ. However, it does use the word "Lead" and "submit" (to rank under).
Pastors aren't rulers,
However, they are Anointed to lead and we are Anointed to obey those Anointed Leaders, under the Authority of the Word of God. Or as sometimes I refer to it as "The Constitution of the United States of Jesus Christ" (the New Covenant). This simple word that was for King James himself is the very tweak many Occult leaders or just misapplied ministries use to control others outside the protective Covenant that is Christ Jesus.
Like Samuel's Office of a Prophet was self-evident, so is the Anointing of the New Covenant
Leaders through Christ-like examples but rebellious people will treat the Anointed New Covenant Leader as if they are an occult leader trying to replace the Lord Jesus Christ. A godly leader will not have any substantial evidence that they violated freewill submission of others.
In contrast an ungodly leader will insist on submission as if they are an Old Covenant Prophet, they do not want to seek God and be lead by the Holy Spirit, they want to BE THE HOLY SPIRIT to control others, time, talent, money and most diabolically get into the thought life of their flock members - not allowing, reasoning, thought, innocent questioning. They just want absolute submission to them.
