>>The epistles of Paul and Acts.<<

Doing your best to stay away from specific references are ya? Are you afraid of starting with a book, chapter and verse?

No, but dueling verses is poor exegesis. The whole of the epistles and Acts show an organized visible Church with hierarchy and authority. E.g., Paul writes to correct the Church in Rome, which did not die with Paul. He had authority, he corrected those in authority at the congregation of the Church which existed in time and place and continues to this day.
