#1 Nowhere in the New Testament do we find any descriptive, prescriptive or instructional passage that even slightly hints at the notion that there will be any "one minister" or any "one ministry for the age" (unless you want to count the ministry of the Lord Jesus, of course)

#2 Since the scripture writing apostles, no one person in church history has ever met the qualifications to claim such a lofty title. If fact, any man who has ever claimed such a thing for himself has invariably been found to be a fraud, shyster, huckster and false teacher. Unfortunately, men like these are a dime a dozen in church history.

#3 Witness Lee had repeatedly disqualified himself as an elder of a local church, and therefore was even more disqualified from being a leader of an entire Christian organization of any kind. It should go without saying that he had no business being the chief theologian/teacher of an entire Christian movement.
