Obey Them that Rule???

Mich- I printed the article out, as I do not read lengthy stuff on the computer screen well. It is not a subject I have studied much, because I am not a "rebel" by nature. That being said, I did come to a point in my walk that I had to search out what I believed for myself and determine what were my convictions, and what the Bible said as far as essentials. This was not a one time event, it is something that I revisit frequently for evaluation purposes. (Outwardly, I conform to what the " church" teaches most of the time, but I do not necessarily believe they are all necessary for salvation.) My first pastor was very autocratic in his ministering style, and even though I was not a "rebel" by nature, I did not want to be a puppet in my walk with God. I don't know if these rambling make sense,just thought I would add it to the conversation.
