Questions about Calvary Chapel Church Government

I first started attending Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa during the 1980's and have always appreciated your ministry in the Calvary Chapel movement. It is very hard for me to admit this statement,
 but I have always had grave exegetical problems with the "Moses Model" approach to church government (Ecclesiology). As I have examined your and the late Pastor Chuck Smith's arguments, it appears that the "Moses Model" is predicated upon a confusion of categories and interpretative grids. I believe the "Moses Model" blurs the line between Old Testament principles that were specifically for the unique servant Moses who was a foundational person to the ancient Israelite's existence, organization and giving of the Decalogue. To use principles of leadership from the life of Moses and to apply them to the New Testament and New Covenant church is exegetically tenuous in the very least. In the Paul's "Pastoral Epistles," it is clear that the New Testament model is to have a plurality of elders in any local assembly of God's people. It is clear that God calls "elders," not elder (Acts 20:17 and Titus 1:5).

In reading how Pastor Chuck adopted the "Moses Model" of church government, it appears to have been done based on a pragmatic response to some issues he had as a Four Square Gospel minister and not because he had a clear New Testament model for church government in mind. I believe the "Moses Model" is a very bad mode of church government since it gives authority to one individual than the Biblical model of a plurality of individuals and could cause for the pastor under this "Moses Model" to operate by an authoritarian hand and function autonomously without any true accountability. The plurality of elders model, is established on Biblical precedent and holds the pastor accountable to his fellow elders and local church. I think it is time to move away from this "Moses Model" and stress the authority and veracity of a group of elders in any local church.
