Also, Amillenial theology seems to empower any church that claims to be Christ's sole representative on Earth. If the millenial kingdom has begun and Christ is reigning from heaven with his "special" representatives on Earth carrying out His will why give us the New Testament. Scripture stands in the way.

This is in no wise Amillenial eschatology (not theology). I don't recognize this at all. Many "churches" claim sole representation of Christ on earth that aren't even part of the universal body of Christ. All after what I highlighted above makes little sense to me, even if I try to replace "any church that claims to be" with "all Christians that are..." I guess I just don't understand what you are saying as it really has nothing to do with eschatology.

It wouldn't be the first time I'm wrong about something.

However, it seems that the churches that believe in amillenialism also believe in replacement theology. Doesn't it follow that since they believe they have assumed the role of evangelizing the world before Christ's return that it would require that converts submit to their doctrines.
