Pastoral Authority,Limits and Boundaries.

Sheperd the flock of God which is among you,serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly,nor as being lords over those who are entrusted to you,but being examples to the flock,and when the Cheif Sheperd appears,you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.1.Peter 5:9 NKJV

Let me say this that I am not anti-ministry nor am I anti-church for both of these are God-ordained.I am for pastors and saints having one.

But what are the limits and boundaries of Pastoral authority ? I understand a God called and God ordained Pastor or Bishop or Elder if you will has spritiual authority,but I also understand they are not to lord themselves over a flock of God,or to be a yes man or a absolute dictator.
So what exactly would be the boundaries and limits of Pastoral authority?
