3. Organizational offices are MANMADE not God instituted thus they have NO divine authority.

True: but when one joins an organization then that organization becomes the authority to which one has submitted oneself and is thereby etically bound to follow that authority except when to do so would jeopardize ones walk with God.

4. The ministry are to submit to the ministry NOT some ecclesiastical system that has NO divine authority.

True: except that what minister do you know who has submitted to the authority of another minister and who follows that other minister even when they are in disagreement with him?


What has been my experience is that strong minded leaders who do not want to submit to another leader will at some point repeat the mistakes of the leader they would not submit to.
