It depends on the leader and the intentions. We are commanded to make disciples that are not really at the center of holiness in reforming the world. We cannot make replicas of ourselves either.
The apostle said to follow him as he followed Christ and then he said to follow the pattern he set in the letters, but he also kept saying that he was the greatest sinner and himself did not trust. So the man who leads is not proud of his life, but he is the most humble, not only the giver of truth, but personally guards the lives of his subordinates. That is, the responsibilities of all high priests of the families were binding on the leader, including on the people. Holiness, but bigger issues like love, kindness, patience, and forgiveness are all testament to being a mature pastor.
The killing process is a very long and arduous process. We are building a system sufficiently to produce a leader described in Timothy and sufficiently advancing the necessary process set forth in the scriptures. The attitude of active obedience is inherently sensible. We must willingly obey all of God's valuable advice, but the right attitude and objective reality are completely different. The prudent demeanor typically implies divine grace in sincere desires.The setting type is denominational for everyone. The end of reasonable wisdom, the creative genius of the old Puritans, wrote pastorally and not just exegetically. The modern pastoral script is too sentimental, too intellectual, or too stuck in cultivated language, and it lacks the underlying denominational prudence. We all have to struggle with that today. We may read too much and repeat carefully, but we do not assimilate enough.
The apostle never appeared to have come in a moral sense to make a convincing argument for inner hope; a divine commandment for all meek saints, from the great sinners to the most mature. He did not call himself the moral absolute, but the meanest sinner in the social circle of saints. Without exception, he was speaking of himself in this effective way to spread the gospel.They don't understand the center of focused attention. It was not that he knowingly committed the external cardinal sins, but that as a new believer he wrestled with sin and was like a loving mother to the new believer.
