These are good guidelines.
The church leaders are appointed by men.
There are shitty pastors too.
Look at the fruit they bear.
And use "Jesus" as benchmark.
Do these so-called leaders or churches bear the fruit of Christ?
Not only them, You as well.
And one of the fruit of the spirit to apply;
1 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV) -
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.You got to have Faith that our Heavenly Father is in control.
Having said that, what I do is, i reserve my judgement against anyone to God almighty alone and many times I was rebuked by God, for the same measure I judge others, it will be used back to measure against me.
So in essence what God is telling me, WHO am I really to judge these people? It's really between them and God.
Hope you understand something here.
