T. Two Offices

Two offices within the church. Scripture only mentions two church offices—pastor (also referred to as elder or bishop) and deacon. These two offices are to be filled by godly men of integrity in each local church. (See Philippians 1:1; Acts 6:1–7; 1 Timothy 3:1–13; Titus 1:6–9; 1 Peter 5:1–4.)

We need to be careful to follow the bible. Let's look at when the disciples wanted to make a 12 apostle.

Acts 1:20–26

20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not”

— Proverbs 23:23
