What does the Bible say about the qualifications of a pastor?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible outlines several qualifications for pastors, emphasizing that they must be irreproachable and exhibit godly character traits.
In Titus 1:5-9, the apostle Paul provides specific qualifications for pastors, emphasizing that they should be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, and not prone to various vices such as pride or drunkenness. Importantly, the character of the pastor mirrors qualities found in Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate example of what it means to be righteous and just. The church must ensure that its leaders meet these standards, as they reflect Christ's righteousness and serve to protect the flock from false teachings and living relativistically.
