The Bible lays out positions of church authority and I am fine with that. However, all of them are still subject first to the scriptures. To your interpretation of the scriptures. Therefore, you are still the authority. And in that case, it is just lip service to church authority.

Partially, since we believe that the Spirit leads us in interpretation, but you are certainly right that we do not give the same authority to the Church that you do.
