My question regards the seat of authority in the local church. I clearly see a plurality of elders taught in the Bible. But what about the keys of the kingdom and their relationship to excommunication and the Lord's Table? Does the congregation as a whole have the power to excommunicate or the elders alonb, etc? What does the keys of the kingdom mean? I'd appreciate responses from the Baptists and the Presbyterians. Thanks,
Bobby
