    Should a Pastor have a payroll in a church ? ?

    Jesus as a preacher possible had a job as a carpenter with His stepfather Joseph.

    Matthew 13:55

    Is not this thecarpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

    Jesus as a preacher does not believe in a church to sell goods for profit.

    Matthew 21:12

    And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of themoneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

    Jesus as a preacher also paid his taxes .

    Matthew 17:24-27

    24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

    25He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

    26Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

    27Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

    Ray, in Christ Jesus 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

    The gospel of grace has no payroll, it's free.
