How do we know the authority of pastors comes from Scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Pastors derive their authority from faithfully preaching the Word of God, not from their personal opinions.

The authority of a pastor stems from their commitment to the Word of God, as Paul emphasizes in 1 Timothy 4:11-12. Pastors must root their teachings in Scripture, which is the ultimate source of authority in the church. If pastors deviate into their ideas or the traditions of men, they lose their rightful authority. It is through the faithful proclamation of God's Word that pastors guide the church, ensuring that teachings are grounded in truth and aligned with God's will.
