Biblical Eldership

Did God ordain that only one man oversee all spiritual matters in a local assembly? Why are the words "bishop", "deacon", & "elder" seldom used in Bible-believing churches today, yet the word "pastor" (singular) is commonly used, but never mentioned in the New Testament (KJV)? Did God ordain that there be just one "pastor" per local assembly?

 What evidence really exists in the New Testament for the "one-pastor" governing model? Is it possible that the hierarchy structure that clearly exists in Roman Catholicism and nearly every Protestant denomination has been accepted without question among Bible-believing churches?
