In local churches (and in institutions which claim to be confessionally biblical)... you must have at their head, people who are not only theologically trained but who have been tested in matters of discernment, who have an ultimate say.
And under them they need a wide battery of capable administrators. (Far be it for me to criticise administrators, they are blessings sent from God. Administration is a charasmatic gift, do you remember that? Thank God for administrators!)
But at the same time, administrators are rarely the most discerning regarding the pattern of sound teaching, rarely.
