Abstract
Leadership of Pentecostal congregations has been subject to little formal theological debate. The attempt to ensure that leadership in Pentecostal congregations follows a biblical pattern has been centred on the ‘ministry gift’ concept and the assumption that such ministers are right for leaders of their congregations. This has resulted in an exaggerated respect for leaders, especially when the concept of ‘anointing’ is used to supplement a minister's authority. As a counterbalance to this kind of mistake, it is important to value the role of the congregation, of the people of God as a whole, in the function and mission of the work of God.
