Pride is a sin where men want to have power over others.
The Bible is our common Book. The elders, also called pastors, appointed by the churches, have rules. The pastor has authority to rule. He answers to God -being responsible for, and to the brethren he is appointed over. The purpose of ministry is not to give opportunity for showing-off, nor the pulpit for all with supposed gifts their time to have the first say, the longest say, and the loudest say.
