They bear greater responsibility than medical doctors as Hebrews 13:17 states—they must one day give an account of their ministries before God. First Peter 5:1-4 points out that they are not dictators, but lead by their example and by their teaching (1 Timothy 4:16) in humility of heart.
Nagtataglay sila ng napakalaking responsibilidad at gaya ng sinasabi sa Hebreo 13:17 - magbibigay sulit sila sa Diyos ng kanilang gawain. Sinabi sa 1 Pedro 5:1-4 na ang mga pastor ay hindi dapat na maging diktador, sa halip dapat silang mamuhay bilang halimbawa at magturo ng buong katiyagaan (1 Timoteo 4:16) at ng buong kapakumbabaan.
