I realize how weighty the blended brothers influence is. Whatever is spoken, whatever is uttered, the saints want to be one with their current burden. Their speaking should be consistent with the Bible. Ministering Christ to us. The brothers have something to minister, but not to be a pattern.
Our pattern should not be men but Jesus Christ.
Even when our brothers exhibit unbecoming conduct, we can ask for our Father to bless them. In regard to UntoHim's post even when speaking from the brothers appear as window dressing, take heed what Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew:
therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. Matthew 23:3
But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. Matthew 23:8-10
