I'd say I would pretty much agree with you on everything you said. My only concern is that unscrupulous men might take advantage of a congregation and force them to submit to their personal agenda like in a dictatorship.

Conversely, you don't want a lot of non-submissive self appointed "chiefs" running around who won't answer to anybody except God. I've know a lot of people like that, and they are closed to correction and do more harm than good.

There has to be a healthy balance I guess.

I suppose those who would want to set up a church dictatorship which stifles creativity and vision in their congregation are going to do so anyways regardless of what the true move of God is doing.

Yes, I agree that we need a strong church government and relearn the concepts of submission to authority because we live in a stiff-necked American culture.
