This is why the simple and ignorant think that Scripture is all for them: they have planted in their minds the idea that an “elder” always refers to a layman elected to office in the church, a “doctor” always to a teacher (never to an administrator of the Sacraments), and a “deacon” always to the one in charge of the poor box. Similarly, they are taught that the “scepter,” “rod,” “throne,” and “kingdom” of Christ only refer to a church with pastors, elders, doctors,[11] and deacons
