Imagine for a moment that the Pope, Spurgeon and Rabbi Yisroel ben Eliezer all went to the marketplace as unknowns to buy apples. All the people would bow down to the pope because of his robes,and the Rabbi and Spurgeon would be treated as everyone else, since they went about dressed as ordinary folks. Fancy robes and titles are the rewards of this lifetime, not in heaven.

All the people would bow down to the pope because of his robes So if D. James Kennedy went along, dressed in the usual academic robe he wears when he preaches, would everyone bow down to him, too?
This is just silly.
