How do we know that church leaders are appointed by the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that the Holy Ghost has made elders overseers of the church (Acts 20:28).

In Acts 20:28, Paul speaks to the Ephesians, declaring that the Holy Spirit appoints overseers for the church. This assertion is foundational in affirming the divine authority behind church leadership. It underscores the belief that those who lead have been chosen by God for this purpose, bringing a serious weight of responsibility as they must faithfully care for the flock. This theological premise supports the practice of seeking God's guidance in appointing leaders who are spiritually equipped to shepherd and feed His people.
