Even though leaders in various professing Christian faiths often wear unusual garments and vestments, is that what early Christian leaders did? What are the qualifications and duties supposed to be for Christian leaders? This article will briefly attempt to answer those questions. Qualifications and Duties of Early leaders/Elders/Presbyters (sometimes called priests)The Bible gives and early writings provide helpful information about the qualifications and duties of Christian leaders. The Apostle Paul was inspired to write (1 Timothy 3: 1- 7): This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober- minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach. Not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous.
One who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence. God?). Not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you — 6 if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self- willed, not quick- tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, 8 but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober- minded, just, holy, self- controlled, 9 holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.
Titus 1: 5- 9) Notice specifically that bishops (another word for a senior elder or pastor) were supposed to be married and serve well. Paul also wrote: 1.
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 1. Christ, 1. 3 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 1. Him who is the head — Christ — 1. Ephesians 4: 1. 1- 1. Notice that the order has pastors right below evangelists. The term pastors comes from a Greek term meaning shepherds.
Pastors would be bishops or presbyters/elders with responsibilties over the Christian flock (cf. Luke 1. 2: 3. 2). All church leaders are to teach 'the truth in love.' Polycarp of Smyrna, who was a disciple of the Apostle John, and lived until the mid- second century wrote: And let the presbyters be compassionate and merciful to all, bringing back those that wander, visiting all the sick, and not neglecting the widow, the orphan, or the poor, but always "providing for that which is becoming in the sight of God and man ; " abstaining from all wrath, respect of persons, and unjust judgment; keeping far off from all covetousness, not quickly crediting [an evil report] against any one, not severe in judgment, as knowing that we are all under a debt of sin. If then we entreat the Lord to forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive; for we are before the eyes of our Lord and God, and "we must all appear at the judgment- seat of Christ, and must every one give an account of himself." Let us then serve Him in fear, and with all reverence, even as He Himself has commanded us, and as the apostles who preached the Gospel unto us, and the prophets who proclaimed beforehand the coming of the Lord [have alike taught us]. Let us be zealous in the pursuit of that which is good, keeping ourselves from causes of offence, from false brethren, and from those who in hypocrisy bear the name of the Lord, and draw away vain men into error (Polycarp, Chapter VI. Letter to the Philippians. From Ante- Nicene Fathers, Volume 1 as edited by Alexander Roberts & James Donaldson.
American Edition, 1. It may be of interest to note that the term sacraments is not part of Paul's or Polycarp's description (nor is it in the New Testament) of the duties of an elder. This does not mean that elders and pastors did not baptize or perform marriages (which took a relatively small part of their time) for example, but does indicate that sacramental duties were not the focus of church leaders in the first and second centuries. Deacons and Evangelists. Let us notice some of the duties that deacons were to be involved in: 2 Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, "It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word." 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch, 6 whom they set before the apostles; and when they had prayed, they laid hands on them.
Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Acts 6: 2- 1. 0)The term deacon comes from the Greek related to serving tables. Notice the following: Acts 6: 2 And serve tables, [diakonein. So the sense seems to be, 'that we should occupy ourselves in overseeing the distribution of provisions.' ..
Acts 6: 3. Whom we (the apostles) may appoint over this business, [chreias] - or 'duty.' Thus we see that while the election was vested in the Christian people, the appointment lay with the apostles, as spiritual rulers. Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown Commentary, Electronic Database. Copyright © 1. 99. Biblesoft, Inc. All rights reserved.) Deacons were to serve the physical needs, but also had involvement in spiritual matters as well.
The deacon Stephen was martryed for his work, with Saul (who later became the Apostle Paul) approving his stoning (Acts 7: 5. As far as additional qualifications, for deacons, notice the following: 8 Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double- tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, 9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless. Likewise, their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. Timothy 3: 8- 1. 3)Deacons, elders, bishops/pastors, etc.
Acts 6: 5- 6, 8: 1. Corinthians 1: 2. Timothy 4: 1. 4; 2 Timothy 1: 6; Hebrews 6: 2). As far as evangelists go, the Bible does not go in a lot of detail about them, but mentions them in Ephesians 4 and they, like other church leaders, are said to teach the truth and proclaim the truth in love.
The deacon Philip from Acts 6: 5 is called an evangelist in Acts 2. Notice also what the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: 1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. Timothy 4: 1- 5)An evangelist preaches the word and does the work of an evangelist.
