1.  Paying pastors – worthy of double or generous pay if they oversee well
2.  Punishing pastors – publicly held accountable by more than one witness
3.  Picking pastors – carefully chosen with a proven track record

The pastor is to oversee God’s work in the church.  It is a position with great responsibility and accountability.  Congregational authority is holding the pastor accountable in these areas of doctrine and deportment.
