Chris.
To be a Shepherd of God's flock a person needs to be qualified according to God's word. There is no room in God's Kingdom for a hireling shepherd. God's Sheep are very precious to Him, He will select the Shepherds of His sheep carefully. God will allow hireling shepherds to be exposed, then they can be replaced.
