A bishop must be a man of no more than one wife. It doesn’t say that he cannot be married. Read Paul for some corroborating evidence. Also; how many of the Apostles married? Let’s get real here.

You also have not addressed my points. Your church does not do certain things that you are instructed to do. You do not baptize in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit as you are instructed. How Christian do you guys think that you are? By all indications, you’ve gone further astray than the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Pray tell, are you still Trinitarian?

Of course a verse that says that a bishop must be the husband of one wife does not say that a bishop cannot be married. But beyond that the verse does not sat a bishop CAN be the husband of one wife, it says that he MUST be the husband of one wife. If that is the case why are no Roman Catholic bishops married?

Verses 3 and 4 in that chapter go on to require of bishops that he be:

" One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)"

How many Roman Catholic bishops have believing children?

Where do you get that? I've never seen a baptism in which the person administering it did not do so in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
