I DO believe in pastoral authority. (If you are not willing to follow what your pastor says go somewhere else period.) But NT pastoral authority is very different than what is taught in many of our pulpits. All believers are Royal Priests. The distinctive we often use is to try and divide a line between Clergy and Laity, is a Catholic creation and not found in the NT.
Pastors are the leaders of LOCAL assemblies, not OT prophets and priests.

I agree Pastors are not to be put on pedestals & worshiped, but they do have authority nonetheless & if ya want to go after them then I will be the first to tell ya that you are out of Biblical order.
No Catholicism refereed to.
