Biblical function of spiritual leaders

I Timothy 3:1-13 Only a few believers are Biblically qualified to function as spiritual leaders. A Biblically qualified spiritual leader will be: of high moral Biblical character -if married and a parent, faithful in marriage and a Biblically functioning parent -self-controlled and not controlled by drugs, alcohol or money.

I Corinthians 11:23-32

Spiritual leaders will teach believers that water baptism identifies us publicly with Jesus Christ. Believers will be taught that communion or the Lord's Supper is a ritual to remind us to reject temptation and enjoy fellowship with God.
