You made a contentious comment.

It should be pretty clear from Acts and the letters to Timothy that the Church had a defined institutional structure very early on, with centralized finances, counsels, defined roles within the Church for different Christians, etc.

So I guess turning tables over in the house of God would not meet with your approval?
