But there are some ingredients which are required. 1) The church is governed by elders. 2) The church should be fellowshipping with other believing bodies 3) There must be some form of accountability for the elders by other elders and to the members.

Would number 1 rule out baptist churches for you, or do you use the term elder as interchangeable with pastor?
