I know Pastor Lee McFarland and he is a dark psycho path. He charms people with his salesmanship and false teachings. He is closely hooked to Rick Warren's hip and in fact worships the ground Rick Warren walks on. Pastor Dale Lee McFarland is a scam artist and fraud. He has said selling Christianity is the best product to sell, because you don't have to warehouse the product and it's intangible. Your simply selling an idea that people will give their life savings for. Lee McFarland is a complete fraudster and a demon
WHAT?! No, a pastor of ANY church cannot ask someone to move out of town and any good, Christian pastor would never do that! The only thing a pastor may do is if he feels that a member of a church has committed a bad sin and will not confess, the pastor can have the church vote on it and the person may be asked to leave the church, but NO PASTOR can kick someone out of town and if that is what's happening, than that pastor is not a good, Christian pastor and he should be reported to the head of the district for whatever denomination his church is.

After several decades in the ministry, he felt it was time to retire.
Because the crowd changed and his original vision was no longer being fulfilled.
I am not entirely sure what you meant by this question, but I think you are asking who leads A pentecostal church rather than THE pentecostal church, but I could be wrong. A pentecostal church is lead by a Pastor who is usually selected by members of the church and has been ordained as a minister. My father is a Pentecostal minister. We attended the church before he was the pastor. The former pastor was asked to leave because of some personal issues and my father had just graduated from Bible College. My father was appointed as interim pastor which means they made him the pastor until they decided who would be the permanent one. Another man from the church also thought God wanted him to become the new pastor, so the church members voted and they chose my father. This may not be how every church does it. I do know of another church where the pastor died of old age and the assistant pastor became the new pastor, although I believe they still voted on it. HOWEVER!, if you were to ask my father who leads a pentecostal church, he would answer, without blinking and without a second thought,"God leads a pentecostal church". :)
yes
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the pastor locks the doors of the church to prevent one of the congregants, a racist group, from disrupting Tom Robinson's trial. This action symbolizes the pastor's protection of the innocent and his stance against prejudice and injustice. By locking the doors, the pastor is ensuring a safe space and upholding the values of equality and fairness.
Might Be That The Lord Has Interceeded. In Other Words He May Have Another Place For You To Worship Him. Right Path, Wrong Church And Pastor. LEAVE THERE AND YOU WILL FIND WHERE HE WANTS YOU TO BE !! You'd have to ask the pastor for the real answer. One possibility, though, is that he doesn't feel you have accepted Christ. Baptism doesn't save you; turning your life over to Christ does. Baptism is a command to believers; it's really only appropriate '''after''' you are a Christian, not before. Depends on the church. Some want you to take classes about their practices and beliefs before you are baptised. If they didn't give you a reason, the answer is pretty simple: find a new church.
There is no specific place where a pastor can ask a member to leave, however church discipline is clearly spelled out. Matthew 18:15-18 spells this out specifically where a sinful and unrepentant brother is finally asked to leave by the entire congregation after stubbornly refusing to repent. Paul reiterates this in 1 Corinthians 5, 2 Thessalonians 3:14-15, and 1 Timothy 1:20. The writer of Hebrews alludes the notion of members being a corrupting influence in Hebrews 12:14-17. This was also what Paul referenced by "a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough"
No, he is still active in his role at Hillsong Church Australia. He has recently moved to New York City to help pastor the new Hillsong Church plant with Carl and Laura Lentz.
* This is only generally done if you know the Priest well and he is close to the family. Protocol is you leave the flowers at the altar to the church and of course pay the Priest for his part in the ceremony. If you do know the Priest well then by all means send him an invitation.
The group that wanted to leave the Church of England were the Separatists.
