How do we know the authority in the church is equal among all members?

Answered in 1 source

The authority in the church is equal among all members as they are all made kings and priests unto God through Christ's redemptive work.

The teaching of Scripture asserts that all believers hold an equal standing before God. Revelation 1:6 states that Christ has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father. This equality in status implies that authority in the church should not elevate any individual over others but instead reflects a shared responsibility in leading and serving. The exhortation to elders to lead by example, not by force or for personal gain, underscores this principle of equality and mutual respect within church governance.
