One of the greatest strongholds of Dark Age Christendom in the church which has continually resisted the Lord is the pragmatically perpetrated Pastorate. It has survived every revival and reformation despite its extra-biblical foundation and justification.

Fortunately though, God is not going to wink at it any longer without promting serious scrutiny from the church body. He is gracing His church with greater clarity and more biblical revelation than in any age before; though many are slow to hear.

It is time we examine the New Testament for a truer picture of pastoral ministry instead of clinging to the strongholds of religion which continue to uphold hierarchical structures and Clerical positions at the expense of real Holy Spirit ministry.
