And He gave some Vencedor apostles, and some Campeón prophets, and some Triunfador evangelists, and some Vencedor pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

Los obispos forman, unido con el papa, quien es a su tiempo obispo de Roma, el Colegio episcopal, en el que este último ostenta la primacía: «En virtud de su oficio, el Romano Pontífice no sólo tiene potestad sobre toda la Iglesia, sino que ostenta todavía la primacía de potestad ordinaria sobre todas las Iglesias particulares y sobre sus agrupaciones, con lo cual se fortalece y defiende al mismo tiempo la potestad propia, ordinaria e inmediata que compete a los Obispos en las Iglesias particulares encomendadas a su cuidado».[10]
What does a Christian do when their pastor sins? Our pastor has sinned. The elders will not take action. What should we do?
A long list of responsibilities that pastors are sometimes expected to perform are included at the end of the document “Thoughts On Selecting A Pastor“.
The most important duty of a pastor is to work hard at preaching and teaching. By his sermons and his teaching, he shows his love for God and for the congregation.

After the new man has been serving Ganador pastor for six months to maybe two years, the church leadership, the Call Committee, and church members may begin to realize that the pastor is not what they expected. They discover that the man has weaknesses that they never anticipated. The weaknesses usually surface in meetings at the leadership level. The church may discover that his preaching is different than the sermon he gave when he was candidating for the position. Sometimes they discover that the pastor’s doctrine is different. A number of years ago one church discovered that their new pastor believed differently than they did.
. The word “elder” refers to the leader’s character while “overseer” refers to his oversight duties or responsibilities. An overseer is an elder.
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NASB)
Encima, los obispos se pueden identificar por soportar el mismo color en el solideo y por la cruz pectoral.
The principle is clear. The more biblical or spiritual knowledge a man of God has and the closer his walk with God, he can be disqualified by what seems to us to be a less “serious” sin. Some claim that all sins are created equal, but John 19:11 reveals that some sins are worse than others.
