    Wonderful.
    One thing I see is elder's could have been any of the 5 fold ministry gifts. For e.g. Peter was an apostle as well as an elder.1Pe5:1

    Very Biblical content! Another point that comes to mind is that NT elders are raised up from within the church body. They are not hired by a board based resumes or ordinations. Also, the NT words for the leaders are elders = overseer = bishop and the job assigned is to shepherd (verb). The Latin word for shepherd is pastor. So “shepherding” is the function of the elders (which was your first point).

      @@martinkocev7240 Hi Martin! The Bible gives elders responsibility over the entire body but they are to devote themselves to the spiritual needs. Deacons are load lifters to free up the elders for this work. So deacons lead with practical things like getting the rooms and equipment ready, and looking after practical needs for the poor and sickly who need visits or charity. This does not mean deacons do all the work alone; rather they are to lead the body in doing this work. It is when the entire body does the work that it is built up according to Eph 4.16.
      See Acts 6 and 1 Timothy 3 for the Biblical basis for deacons and their work.
      Blessings to you.

      I Don't gone argue for titles and old covenant lows in church.. Al what to say God gone say to you..
      He rises from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel which he was girded. Then comes he to Shim’on [he has heard] Kefa [pebble] : and Kefa [pebble] says unto him, Lord - Kurios, do you i wash my feet? Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered and said unto him, What I do you i know not now; but you i shall know hereafter. Kefa [pebble] says unto him, you i shall never wash my feet. Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered him, If I wash you i not, you i have no part with me. Shim’on [he has heard] Kefa [pebble] says unto him, Lord - Kurios, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head. Yeshua [God is Salvation] says to him, He that is washed needs not save to wash [his] feet, but is clean every whit: and you 2f are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, You 2f are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know you 2f what I have done to you? You 2f call me Master and Lord - Kurios: and you 2f say well; for [so] I am. If I then, [your] Lord - Kurios and Master, have washed your feet; you 2f also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you 2f should do as I have done to you. Truly, truly, I say unto you, The slave is not greater than his Lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
