South Korean Churches Spiritually Abusive and Controlling Tendencies Because of Pastoral Leadership Characteristics

Many pastors in South Korean churches (and some Korean-American churches and Korean-American Christian groups - Berkland Gracepoint and University Bible Fellowship) show off their strength and absolute authority over all church-related matters by acting like despots, dictators, kings and emperors of their small empires. Many pastors in South Korean Protestant churches criticize the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church, but many South Korean pastors behave as if they are the Pope of their local church. These authoritarian, despotic and dictatorial South Korean pastors frequently say that they are the mouthpiece of God or the spokesman of God(하나님 말씀을 대언하는 자). These controlling, domineering South Korean pastors set themselves up as the divine authoritarian, ruling and dominating over people, which is easy to see in many South Korean churches. These authoritarian, controlling South Korean pastors set themselves up as the Judge. Authoritarian, controlling South Korean pastors always make judgments about the authenticity and validity of a church member's salvation. Authoritarian, controlling, abusive South Korean pastors also habitually make judgements about whether or not a church member is a TRUE CHRISTIAN (as opposed to a church member who is just PRETENDING TO BELIEVE).
