In the recovery they are not like that. If a church decides to pay the elder that is up to them, but usually it is only full time workers on campuses. It is usually for a period of time, not guaranteed to be until retirement.
The paying of the worker is not the issue, it is the position of pastor that is the issue - paying of a person to support their permanent position which is not found in scripture - in the early church, pastors did not run churches. Elder is not a full time permanent vocation like a pastor or priest.

Thanks for verifying my points.
Pastor evil. Full-timers and workers good.
Both are paid staff without difference.
Change the name and the LCM calls them legit. Hypocrites.
