The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
An elder in the church is minister, Pastor, preacher, missionary, priest, Bishop.. These are the ones whom GOD should have called into the ministry to preach the Gospel to every person in the world to tell them of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. I also am an elder in the church as I am a leader, preacher and teacher to the saints.
