Timothy and Titus give us some qualifications for elders.
Should these be taken as guidelines whereby the whole man is judged or as a checklist where if a candidate does not meet one of the criteria he is automatically excluded?
Should the elder's children be Christians or just not clearly rebellious against Christian morality?
Should more emphasis be put on the elder's Christian walk or his abilities (ie teaching, administrative etc)?
If there is already a thread on this someone could point me to it.
