Ordination is what imparts the "keys." You can receive the Spirit but you do not have the "keys." We are all part of God's priesthood, and some are part of the ordained priesthood, which must be Apostolic in succession. Protestants and Baptists and other sects and cults have no ordianed priesthood.What is your evidence that these "keys" were indeed imparted to you???
