Disqualifications for Serving?: What disqualifies someone from non-pastoral ministry? Are the rules for pastors the same for sound techs, ushers, etc.?

Q&A question: Disqualifications for Serving?

Ehrman presents a selective picture by quoting only sources showing executions without burial, ignoring Roman legal provisions that allowed it.

Hebrews 1:4-6 decisively refutes Jesus being an angel: (v.4) Jesus became superior to angels as a different category; (v.5) God never said to any angel "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"; (v.6) all God's angels are commanded to worship Jesus — angels do not worship other angels.
