Why I Am a Baptist, Part 4 of 4
Wednesday, December 6, 2006 at 11:29AM The New Testament bears out two offices: pastor and deacon. This is distinct from the different callings of God, such as pastor, teacher, and evangelist. In the Bible, you will find several words used interchangeably with pastor, such as bishop, elder, and overseer. They are all referring to one office: pastor. Paul instructed the young pastor Timothy on this subject in his first letter to him.
