Default Re: Judge not that ye be not judged...

According to the writings of Nee and Lee, a servant of God is not supposed to receive any salary.

If we serve God then we should ask God for our salary. If we serve man then we should ask man for our salary. (paraphrased Nee)

But giving is a matter of free will. The question is , are payments in the local church today free will giving or are they some sort of salaried, contractual arrangement. If it's salaried like the denominations then it would be hypocritical. If it is free will giving it is not hypocritical in my view, there is a clear difference.

A hypocrite is someone who has a log in their own eye but only sees a speck in another person's eye. I don't know that the amount of salary giving in the local churches is as much as the denominations. I think it is more of a "speck" in terms of volume.
