When electing a pastor or elders in a particular congregation, there is a need for confidence that the individuals concerned and the church have God's leading. Acts 20:28 lays the groundwork for experiencing such confidence. When the church follows specific guidelines, and the persons involved also do, the outcome can be that the Holy Spirit has indeed given the church its pastor and elders. This little pamphlet points potential pastors and elders and electing congregations in the direction of this assurance. Chapter titles are Shepherd Leaders, Two Offices or One, Exemplary Christian Living, Watch Yourselves, Affectionate Shepherds, Affection for All,
Servants of the Spirit, Prerequisite Godliness, Holy Spirit Selection, Holy Spirit Appointment, and Unity, Love, Witness.
