Question
What is meant by “not . . . newly converted” and “loyal”?A brother who qualifies as an elder is “not a newly converted man.” Although you do not have to be baptized for many years, you do need time to become a mature Christian. Before you are appointed as an elder, you must demonstrate that, like Jesus, you are humble and are content to wait on Jehovah for any assignment. (Matt. 20:23; Phil. 2:5-8) You can prove that you are “loyal” by sticking to Jehovah and his righteous standards and by following the direction given through his organization.—1 Tim. 4:15.
