What is it with this focus on some “Presbyterial ranks”? It’s nonsense and has nothing to do with what Jesus taught. It doesn’t take some “Presbyterial ranks” to understand what Jesus and the apostles taught was needed for salvation. Those “Presbyterial ranks” have led more people astray then anything else. The gospel is preached by individuals and the focus on “Presbyterial ranks” is NOT what is taught in scripture.

May I ask you a question? What do you make of 1 Timothy 4:14?

Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed on you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery.

In that context, what if anything did the laying on of hands do, if all that is necessary for transmission of the faith is just to hear it with your ears or read it with your eyes?
