Bishop, Elder , Pastor are synonymous terms for the same office.
Apostles in the NT. set the churches in order but Bishops oversaw the local assemblies.
Councils like the Jerusalem council in ACTS .15 were voluntary meetings for consenus on fonudational doctrine and practice but the local assemblies were autonomous and soverign.
A NT. presybetry were a group of Elders in a local assembly.
