The Bible tells Christian leaders not to be like the world lording their authority over the sheep but to be servants. Because no Christian leader is to be a lord(we have one Lord) we are not their servants; we are fellow laborers. The church is a strange place these daysPastors are given most of the authority when Biblically they are the equivalent of a corpral . If the other officies of the church have ceased then prove pastors have not ceased.

Would you be so kind as to provide a detailed list of the churches you are referring to? Or, are you referring to the entire Church? If so, then let me take this opportunity to state that you are in error. Still, I would like to review the research you have compiled to support your assertion. It should be an interesting read. Especially where you show that "Biblically they are the equivalent of a corporal." I don't remember that Scripture right off.

Your last statement isn't clear to me.........why would you think "the other offices" have ceased? And what do you mean by "then prove pastors have not ceased"?
