"For as many as are led by their pastor, they are the sons of God" Rom 8:14
"For as many as are led by their pastor, they are the sons of God" ( Rom 8:14)
No! That's not what it says.
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God".
The PRIMARY way that God uses to lead His sons, is by the HOLY SPIRIT. (not by the pastor).
Pastors have a role in maturing and growing up saints to do the ministry of the saints, but that role is not to micro-manage people or to give permission to logon to AFF or CAF etc.
Just my take on the subject. BL

I agree with the sentiment, though I wonder about the spirit in which it was written. Had it been written as in bold (above), then I could say "Amen, Brother". That would have been a great post!

Oh -- I figured if it were a place that was warned about, I may need to go check it out.

Careful Big Larry!
This will get you labeled Anti-Pastor and a rebel against authority.
But I agree.
