Does Pastor And Elder Refer To Different Offices? by Nobody: 11:55am On Aug 23, 2013
In christendom this is widely seen. the pastors are often viewed as having more authority than the elders, and they seem to be the ones who take the lead in ministering.

does the bible view these terms as the name for different offices occupied by different persons, or does the term refer to the same office?

Another thing, should the appointment as an elder or a minister mean that those names become a title to the holders?

we do hear pst. this and deacon that. I do not find the apostles in the bible taking these as religious titles like we see today.

what do you think? there are two things that needs your comments:

- Pastor and Elder, do they refer to different religious offices?

- should they be taken as religious titles?
