Here's a few verses to expose a bunch of false preachers. Notice that a deacon(a young preacher), an elder, or a bishop; all must be the husband of only one wife. So if a man has a living ex-wife and has re-married; he is disqualified from the ministry. Also if his wife and children are not in subjection to him, then he is disqualified from being a pastor... So, you see, there are many filling pulpits who have no business there.
I Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,
vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
I Timothy 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
I Timothy 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
subjection with all gravity;
I Timothy 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how
shall he take care of the church of God?)
I Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into
the condemnation of the devil.
I Timothy 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the
office of a deacon, being [found] blameless.
I Timothy 3:11 Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers,
sober, faithful in all things.
I Timothy 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their
children and their own houses well.
Titus 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set
in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city,
as I had appointed thee:
Titus 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful
children not accused of riot or unruly.
Titus 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not
selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to
filthy lucre;
Also we must remember that if any preacher is preaching any variation from the apostolic doctrine (Acts 2:38)
Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
accursed.
Galatians 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be
accursed.
A glance at Acts 19 will verify that Paul adhered faithfully to the Apostolic Acts 2:38 doctrine. (The Church at Ephesus was founded in Acts 19).
