And according to the premise behind it, being the instrument of Divine revelation equates to having assured infallibility, via formal decent, and thus submission to the natural branches would be mandated.

But as it does not, and God established most of Scripture and preserved Truth without an assuredly infallible magisterium, thus Christianity required dissent from those who presumed that formal decent assured perpetual and supreme doctrinal authority. And thus the authority of John the Baptist and the Lord Himself was a problem for them. And as God can raise up from stones children to Abraham, so He can do today by faith in the gospel of grace, to continue to build His church of the regenerate.
