YUP!!!!
what we have in 1 timothy is how the leaders of the church are to act and
interact. how is the "pastor" to act? the "deacons" (male and female!!!).
the "elders" (male and female" as well as those responsible for the younger
church members....
Yes- you are correct. the newotera are office holders.
best,
jim
