With huge churches even in one building in one meeting, there's no way for the preacher to be a pastor. The office is not meant to be split - the ones who preach are to be the shepherds of the local flock. Piper is a public figure-heard preacher who has allowed himself to become a cult personality. Multiple services or multiple buildings cease to be congregational or Baptist. I just finished reading this book: Amazon.com: Who Runs the Church?: 4 Views on Church Government (Counterpoints: Church Life) (9780310246077): Steven B. Cowan, Stanley N. Gundry, Peter Toon, L. Roy Taylor, Paige Patterson, Sam E. Waldron: Books which provides an over view of 4 major perspective on church government. The authors in favor of the episcopal and democratic congregational views need to go back and study the Bible without imposing their views on the text.
