[Campion]

No church in the New Testament ever received orders or instructions from a hierarchical organization or religious structure.

The Epistles of Paul are precisely what you say didn't exist.

[Responsibility2nd]

Can you name just one order or instruction from a conference or denomination instructing Paul on what to do or where to go?

Or name the synod or organization that was over the church at Ephesus, Collossae or Phillippi?

Paul was an independent missionary. He was not under orders from a hierarchy. He took his support from independent churches. Who took no orders or mandates from anywhere.

Paul wrote what the Holy Spirit moved him too, not the dictates of a corrupt hierarchal religions authority that established itself and calls itself the one true church told him too.
