This principle is all through the Bible. Did Jesus agree with Caesar? no but he taught his disciples to pay their taxes. Submission to authority is crucial to being saved. Even King David taught us that with Saul trying to kill him and his own son taking away his kingdom. We have to be careful saying the only authority I need to obey is Jesus Christ. He is the one who set the foundation of his church on apostles and prophets. If you can't trust a pastor to follow the Lord, I wouldn't be going to that church.
