Acts 20:17 From Miletus, Paul sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.

What are these elders of the church?

Heb 13: 17 Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Who are these leaders to whom you are to give obedience?

You did not acknowledge even one scripture that i named in order to explain to you why i do not join a Church, but now you come up with a scripture?

you are just dodging.

But any way, elders can be just that or they can be bishops or deacons which are leaders of the Church.

That means they are leaders over the members of the congregation.

I am not a member of any congregation.

Because like i said i do not want some one leading me that does not know the difference between tithes and alms.

I also do not want some one leading me that thinks that the Sabbath day can be changed to the first day of the week.
