[ So when the Apostles went about their task of bishops over areas, instituting churches (written about extensively in Acts and the Epistles), they were actually going against the words of the Reformed God? ]

No..... Jesus didnt forbid forming CLUBS.. like Synagogs..
Clubs with officers and secret door knocks, hand shakes and everything..
You know sheep pens.. (John Ch 10)..

John 10:16

I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.

One flock, one shepherd, one pen. Not pens. The Jews (these sheep) and the Gentiles (other sheep) are to be united under Christ.

You seem hung up on clubs and secret handshakes and door knocks. Did the Freemasons reject your membership big?
