I can not speak for him, but some sell out to an organization no matter how wrong or close to the edge the organization may be. I am not for organizations for many reasons. The only positive thing I see is to cultivate the youth of our generation but for conferences, but those can be done outside of an org. I think that fellowships are the key here. Church organizations set rules to 'get to heaven' and fellowships typically do not draw those lines.

LOYALTY makes me think of dedication and involvement with a certain part of the Body of Christ that the other parts do not get from a person, including respect. It makes me think of cutting off the other parts of the body of Christ, and thereby having respect of persons. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is what comes to mind in thinking of loyalty to an organization.
