He said:

“We have CAN and Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN). I think the leaders of these bodies should have the responsibility of calling erring pastors to order so that we don’t have confusion in the house.

Pastor Emmanuel added:

"My take is that CAN and PFN should be able to regulate the house because the church is a house."
