Do you really know what rebellion is? Just because you obey what men in the church think, that does not mean that you are obedient to God.

I'm hanging on tight and I'll let my Pastor and leaders give an account to God for any non-biblical issues...

And who decides when you are released? Who gives you the say so? The blessings?
You think God sent you to a man of God and you have got to be under his total obedience? You do not realize how unscriptural your statement really is. Paul says in
Galatians 1: 10. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? For if I yet please men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
If you are trying to be a man pleaser, you are in rebellion to Christ and you are totally against what Christ has called you to be.
According to this verse of Scripture, your own statement has put you outside of Christ. You are not serving Christ, but you are utterly serving your pastor.
Romans 8:14 says if you be led by the Spirit of God, ye are the sons of God.
Galatians 4 teaches that as long as you are a child you are under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the Father. But when you truly know Christ like you should know Christ, you will be free to serve Him directly and not have to ask anybody what to say or do.
Now that is Apostolic because it is taught by an Apostle named Paul.
