He did not. He allowed his revelations and theologies to be tested and modified by the leadership body of elders. Thus the church remained unified and grew, even in the onslaught of grave political and religious persecution.
I wonder which elders the Tulsa group submits to? Perhaps you reach an age where you become your own elder. Wow!

To answer your question, EVERYONE that signs up as a member of their fellowship are required to have THREE names of ministers to whom they are accountable and answer to on their application -
one being their Pastor - and that includes the original 6.
Wasn't that easy?
