No, it does not automatically equate the son of the pastor, nor the first cousin, nor the nephew.
BTW, I believe a new pastor should be voted in by the congregation, and that once voted in he should not be voted on again.

Who else to better know the mind of God for a church than the shepherd who has been there.
The problem with laity is that they vote based on a sermon or a smile rather than the things that are really important.

And the problem with with some pastors is they base their decision of favoritism and family ties.

regarding the vote thing, how can one say he's called for that position when he was voted in by the church?

You are called to be a PASTOR, EVANGELIST, etc.

I think some forget who the church belongs to- God- Just because we pour our blood, sweat and tears into a congregation, it does not belong to us. The laity also, pours its blood, sweat and tears into the work of God, too. It does not belong to either, but to God.

The early church PRAYED, believing that God's choice for the replacement of Judas would be determined by a vote.
Quote:
Acts 1:23-26
And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
