| GENTILE LEADERSHIP /LORDS | TRUE CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP-SERVANTS |
| 1.Selfish—puffed up with knowledge; only the leader knows it all/hides ‘knowledge’ ‘from the flock | Selfless –Love is the basis of knowledge therefore shares with the flock and edifies the flock; where there is edification there is Love |
| 2. One Man /High Priest—Nicolatitan. He /She has the access to God thus leading people to themselves not Jesus Christ the Great High PRIEST | Jesus Christ is the great High Priest then everyone else ,including the leaders of the church are priests together as the leaders lead the people to Jesus Christ |
| 3. Jack of all trades; He is the eye, the ear, the mouth.. he is the professional as the others are spectators | The gifts of the Holy Spirit are encouraged among the faithful; church/fellowship is participatory and thus a true sharing |
| 4.Prophecies delivered are always final say no judgment by mature believers allowed | Prophecies and all words are judged by the believers based on the true word of GOD and the Holy Spirit. |
| 5. Destruction of the flock...the Christian becomes stagnant spiritually dead and lukewarm | Edification—The Christian grows as edification is unto one another ;building one another unto the full measure of Christ |
| 6.Fleecing the flock through twisted scriptures, merchandising, money making ministries or churches | Feeding the flock with sound doctrine and the truth for the growth of the church and not self aggrandizement |
| 7.His/Her survival and greed is fed from the pockets of church members through dubious tactics /twisted scripture; the sheep feed the shepherd | He tries not to be a burden to the flock but is burdened to see the church members conform into the image of Jesus Christ |
| 8.Abuse of titles such as Prophet x, Reverend y, special garments and celebrity status to validate authority and justify fleecing | Their authority is from God and the Holy Spirit is the seal over them...do not superimpose themselves but lead by example |
| 9.I-AM -SERVING-BECAUSE-I STUDIED THEOLOGY –MENTALITY thus employment is reason for ministry | I am serving because of the grace of God and faith in God This is ministry –the hearing of faith not works is the basis of the ministry |
| 10 .Qualified by degrees, skills and expertise | Qualified by the HOLY SPIRIT, , good conduct and grounded in sound doctrine |
