Is there anyone else in the history of Christendom who believes this, as you do?
Because honestly, a simple reading of the chapter leads me to think Paul is referring to Christian leaders in the church (namely, the elders responsible for teaching). I see absolutely no indication that "those who have the rule over you", "whose faith" the Hebrew Christians were to follow, "who have spoken the Word of God" to them, could be anyone
other than Christian teachers.
