Truths abotu II John:
The lady is chosen.
The congregants of her church are referred to as "her children."
Verse 4 calls them "your children"
We see in Verses 5-6, that he specifically gives her a command. The intimation is that this command should be passed on to "her children."
I think that it is clear that this chosen lady has some specific power in the church. Using Occam's Razor, the clearest understanding is that she is, indeed, the pastor. Other interpretations force presuppositions upon the clear text.
