I believe in hierarchy — I do not believe in oligarchy — hierarchy of certified degrees of understanding, skill-set, and proven character development — oligarchy is a birthright that was abolished in the The Death, Burial, and Resurrection of The Lord Jesus Christ.
This doesn’t mean there cannot be a family legacy of ministry. Plumber Bob trains his sons in plumbing because that what plumber Bob knows therefore Bob’s sons mostly will be plumbers.
This is why I will not plant churches based on an individual, power couples or a family legacy. Church is a family of families, couples and individuals who love The Lord Jesus Christ.
The pattern of the church is based on what Jesus established with the foundational Apostles —NOT one person creating a bottleneck between God and the church. No, no, that is not the pattern the New Testament has established for us.
These messianic complex people believe they are above others— even above peer review. This is where Hierarchy can swing to the other extreme into error.
