They have 9 staff.
Staff salaries for 2006: $1,246,855.40
About $ 138, 539.49 each.
Lead Pastor probably makes $250,000 and the others about 100K per year.
How is this aligning with Biblical principles...?

Can you divulge your source? I looked into this church and from what I saw from employees on their website, they have 17 listed, not 9. I'm guessing your figures are most likely off, too. In any case, there are many churches from many different religions that are misusing the money from their congregation. Pentecostals don't have the corner on that market and anyone that does that type of overpayment to themselves in a religious setting is in the wrong.

I know it is not right.
There is many pentecostal pastors who make much more then that. That is why it is big business preaching and they try to get as many into their churches as possible as it only means one thing MORE MONEY

Swindling is the second oldest profession next to prostitution.
The bible is a concoction, as are churches, deities, etc.
Many churches all over Australia are shutting their doors and the property is going under the hammer... religion is loosing its relevance.

Isn't greed mentioned in the bible as a sin more than any of the issues the fundies rant about today?
Atheism. You know it makes sense.
