In what sense, then, are they legitimately "Christian?"In the same sense that the original Church was not an institution but was a body of believers who met in homes, in small groups, in secret....

Really? So when Paul speaks of the Three Pillars of the church (Peter, James, and John), he isn't referring to any persons in authority of a Christian institution?
