Psalms 68:34-35 KJV Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Luke 24:11 KJV And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
On the road to Emmaus, there were two disciples who walked with Jesus unknowingly. They must have been Scofield dispensationalists, thinking that redeemed Israel was a national Israel, until the Lord rebuked them as fools.

Please explain why preaching repentance is considered evil. 'That's a work, and we are not saved by works!' says the preacher who beats his wife. Yes, we are not saved by your or my works, but we are saved by God's gift of faith, which indeed includes repentance from sin and good works that do not include beating your wife.
Luke 24:47 KJV And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

The plurality of elders within local churches is a good thing. The showtime pastor will burn out.
Exodus 18:21 KJV Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
Exodus 18:22 KJV And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
