Can there be true oversight without denominational affiliation?

Are independent churches operating in rebellion?

In answer to your question: Many independent churches are operating in rebellion. They refuse accountability to an organization, and many times to a congregation. My limited knowledge of some of these; they are indepnedent because they don't want anyone telling them what to do, or they have already transgressed and cannot join any organization because of past sin or misconduct.

Not ALL independent churches are rebellious. Some truly believe they are following the mandates of God without the limitations of man.
