Besides the New Testament also mentions the ministry of deacons Greek: These are all ministries and duties which existed as proper offices among the different assemblies in the beginning. The Jews had always had elders Exodus 3: This is why we do not read of any appointing of elders into Jewish-Christian churches, although they existed there as well Acts Among the Heathen-Christian churches elders were appointed by apostolic authority Acts The deacons were elected of the church and then confirmed by the apostles Acts 6: The fact that elders and deacons are mentioned at the heading of an epistle once only Philippians 1: Elders and deacons however needed to prove good and therefore were only appointed after a certain time.
In the Post-Apostolic time after the apostles' decease men started to make out that the office of elder was different from the office of overseer. With this the foundation was laid for the hierarchy of offices in the churches. This hierarchy even boasts of 'Apostolic succession'. The Holy Scriptures however give no basis for such!
On the contrary, when Paul bade farewell to the elders of the church in Ephesus he commended them and the church to God and to the word of his grace Acts The importance of offices in Christendom is much stressed whereas the diverse and various God-given gifts are thrust into the background. These gifts are evangelists, pastors and teachers Ephesians 4: Yet these will remain unto the fulfilment of the church Ephesians 4: As far as we can see in the NT elders or overseers were appointed only by the apostles or their representatives. By this they received an authority wanted by God through which the outward order in the assemblies was upheld during the beginning.
Nowadays nobody - and not even the church - possesses the authority to appoint anyone to such an office. God-given authority always comes from above and never from beneath. Lexicon Search Greek Hebrew Aramaic. Before Christ Edersheim Flavius Josephus more.

Paul wishes grace and peace in his epistles to the churches. To Timotheus he adds mercy, the most tender grace towards those who stand in need of it.
The experience of this prepares a man to be a minister of the gospel. Charge some to teach no other doctrine — Than I have taught. Let them put nothing in the place of it, add nothing to it. And endless genealogies — Nor those delivered in scripture, but the long intricate pedigrees whereby they strove to prove their descent from such or such a person. Which afford questions — Which lead only to useless and endless controversies.
1 Timothy Overview - Wesley's Explanatory Notes
Whereas the end of the commandment — of the whole Christian institution. The foundation is faith; the end, love. But this can only subsist in an heart purified by faith, and is always attended with a good conscience. Some are turned aside — An affectation of high and extensive knowledge sets a man at the greatest distance from faith, and all sense of divine things. To vain jangling — And of all vanities, none are more vain than dry, empty disputes on the things of God. We grant the whole Mosaic law is good, answers excellent purposes, if a man use it in a proper manner.
