Maybe some spiritual rewards yes... But as its not really much of ra-ra and haha kind of life as Christians...
But let us just stick to Word of God instead of the words from preachers... Not that we should ignore all that they say, but to really examine their words....
"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." (Acts 17:11)
Scripture above tells us that even when Paul, the awesome preacher who tells the Bereans about the Word of God, they don't just take it at face value... They EXAMINED the scripture to see if what he said was true...
God credited to them as being "NOBLE"
So it shows how important it is to build your own convictions instead of through other people...

that's why i don't believe that a single person is spiritually infallable, and that every word he speaks is the truth from God.
in the end, i'll go back to the word, thank you very much.

Yup, even church leaders are human too... They may have their spiritual downtimes too...
Nobody is as "anointed" as others claimed them to be... Pastors, preachers, priests are just one of the instruments used by God to spread His Word...
We were also commissioned to Spread His Word too...
So like what dumb2 says.... Go back to the Word...
It shouldn't go wrong... =)
